Bespoke Amethyst Churchill with IB nib. Loaded with Kobe Sumo Purple just because it has similar bluish undertones. :wub:

I've enjoyed looking through this topic. I always the admired Conway Stewart pens, but never bought one when they were available. It's nice to see all you folks enjoying yours.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

You can still find them out in the wild to purchase :)

 

I found a new, still in its box, Model 58 with lever filler mechanism online last night and snapped it up.

Now don't get toooo excited. It is a new Model 58 with the black cap but I really liked the look of what I saw and it is a lever filler which I do not have yet so I'm happy.

 

Found a CS Dandy with lever filler also. That will also be heading my way shortly. So I feel like the cat with all the cream :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Oh yes!

Yes, you're right. The clips could do with a polish but otherwise they are both in fantastic shape. The fragility of the material makes them pretty scarce nowadays.

Very scarce! I would love to have a 286 in the swirl...but I don't think that's going to happen. :(

 

 

Still, it's always a pleasure to see these rarities. :D

My long sought after, much beloved CS #58 that I acquired recently.

 

It was worth waiting for and instantly became a daily writer.

OH, I love the ghost!!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Still using my Belliver Borealis, but I switched it back to its original Fine Italic nib and did some smoothing on superfine micromesh, so now it's a gem of a writer! Waterman Florida Blue ink it it now.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
