Thanks to both of you. I like dogs but I don't think they'd do well here as we have coyotes and very nasty raccoons in the area. A cat, at least, is content to stay indoors.

Here's a shot of the two-tone Fine nib.

I'll need to get a pic, but I'm using a newly acquired Relief 12, which is the best of Conway Stewart and Esterbrook all in one.

286 & 475, both black. I think the 286 is filled with peacock blue (came in the pen). Both are excellent writers

Must improve my photography!

The colours are all over the place, the pen is actually blue/grey and the ink is a darker red.

I always enjoy reading this thread.

Thanks.

388 is on my list since I completed the 36 striped set. Hatched seem impossible to find :s

 

It's good to see a sample written text :)

I'm using a freshly restored CS 28 Burgundy Hatch, and I really like it. The cap jewel looks like it's possibly not original, and a little offset, but everything is in place securely.

Yesterday I acquired a black 475 which I have since cleaned and serviced. There are a lot of these in NZ, and many of them have passed through my hands! Every one I have had has been a great writer. This one came with an added bonus, a silver Life-Long pencil made by W H Sutton and apparently marketed by Conway Stewart from 1933.

Today, I am mostly using...

 

27755331600_c9ae3cf1ac_c.jpg

 

 

...a 58 pen and 33 pencil set.

 

28036023765_ea8cf45168_c.jpg

 

 

The Duro 58 nib writes with a very smooth, very juicy medium line, which isn't ideal for the Moleskine notebook. Also, because of the flow, the line tends to spread to be more of a broad.

 

The pencil now has Yard-o-Led HB refills.

 

It's a great set. :D

      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
