Got a new toy today, CS Winston in Classic Claret, IM nib. I need to work on my photography skills, I guess, but you get the idea... ;-)

Congrats, on your new Winston..... IM nib....nice!....

 

maybe try putting pen near a daylight source when taking photo.....think will brighten up the pen so that we can really get a good idea of the color....just a thought....

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Lava Red? Is that a vintage pen color? looks sort of like Meteor. Very nice though...

I took some better images outside today. I still had a problem with lint... geez, taking pictures of my new pen was harder than I thought it would be ;-)

Much better, Baric!....now, I can see the nice color of your pen.......

 

As for the lint, you need one of those little cleaning cloths...like the kind for cleaning eyeglasses or computer displays....soft and lint-free....

then you'll be all set.....

 

Meanwhile, enjoy that beautiful pen.....

Claret certainly suits the Winston, very nice choice of colour. If only they could make the Winston smaller to suit my hand!

Worth the effort though, Baric. That Winston is a beauty. :thumbup:

I've used up the Sepia, so now the 100 Series is inked with Diamine Ancient Copper. :thumbup:

I love Diamine Ancient Copper, what a gorgeous color.

 

Well, I ignored the whisper of common sense (and the groans from my checking account) and got another Conway Stewart to write with and enjoy. It's a Belliver Nebula with an 18ct IF nib. Smooth, just a hint of softness, I love that the converter screws in instead of using a pressure fit. And the finish is out of this world ;-). It has a sense of depth when you turn it it slowly and the light reflects off of the red and blue flakes inside the barrel. While substantially lighter and smaller (both length and barrel/section diameter) than the Winston, it's still a very solid pen in the hand. It's the same length capped (longer uncapped) as my Pelikan M600 but with a wider section, which is nice, and with more heft. I need to put it through its paces this weekend, which I am looking forward to.

 

This is not my image, but it is the exact same pen:

Bryant at Chatterley Luxuries/Pen Time was great to deal with. I may have to shop there again.

Beautiful in every way - the pen, the writing, the leaf, the photo. Thanks for posting!

Switched my CS 100 Coral Green's ink from Iro Asa-Gao to Conway Stewart Bodmin black. I had forgotten what a great smooth flowing ink this was. It almost feels like a "lubricating" ink. I feel like I should always have a pen inked up with it. Makes me want another color of CS ink.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
