The Red Shadow Wave Vac Junior, F nib, still with it's standard diet of Waterman Mysterious Blue. And yes, I still haven't needed to flush it out :thumbup: -- and it's coming up on the 2-1/2 year (!) benchmark (which will officially be around the middle of February).

A 21 Super with a handmade ebonite hood and barrel custom made by Ratnamson for me.

That is the most beautiful S21 I have ever seen. Would they make ebonite hoods and barrels for the P51 too?

I think they will. It takes the same amount of work and skill. I got this made since this pen was purchased second hand and had lots of scratches on the barrel. So I sent it to them for a new hood and barrel.

A first generation Sonnet sterling silver Fugere with the double gold section rings and a two tone (18k) nib. Found it in the wild for $65. I have inked the pen a few (4-5) days ago and the pen has not exhibited the 'nib drying out' ailment as yet.

It's been a while - French Parker 75 godron in silver with a flat cap and gold nib. Still writes really well even with patina and light damage to cap.

A nice blue Parker VP. Inked with Waterman serenity blue.

 

I bought this VP uninked, boxed and in pristine condition from a local vintage dealer.

Yup. I'm still rehydrating the ink in the red one I got at the Ohio Pen Show in November (yes, that's three months now). And pulled out the black one (currently with diluted Brimingham Truss Blue) to use this afternoon.

      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
