Sailor 1911L Realo Black, M, Diamine Oxford Blue

Welcome to FPN, BinaEliora!

 

I have those exact two pens going into my rotation tomorrow, though my Realo is red and filled with Diamine Presidential Blue, and my 120 is green and filled with 4001 Brilliant Black...

May I ask: what is the year of manufacture of that Collier (beautiful pen, BTW)?

 

Most of the "Molten Ores" pens from Edison I have seen were much more grey and brown and much less blue.

Thanks N1003U, it was made this year, and it is a slate blue-grey.  I don’t see any brown in it at all.  The chatoyance gives parts of it a silver appearance as well.  This material has been in their catalogue for a long time, so perhaps the recipe has been modified?  If you’d like more pics I’d be glad to PM some to you.

Beautiful!

That's rather close 🙂 

 

Is is a vintage 120 from the 50/60ies or the modern version? I do have a green 120 from the 50ies with an M nib (my aunt gave it to me). It is semi-retired right now, started leaking at the piston knob and needs some repair.

Two beautiful pens. Especially the Pelikan.

My 120 is modern, but Pelikan did a nice job of preserving the look and feel compared to the vintage models, and I like the springy steel nib.

Yes, the nib is great. It also looks nice.

A Jinhao 992 with a partial fill of De Atramentis Document Brown.

 

The ink was in a piston filler, getting low and at risk of burping - I was about to top it up with more of the same, then realised I could dump the rest of the ink into a vial and syringe it into a cartridge or converter to use it up. I don't like wasting ink so just cleaning it out wasn't happening. I don't know why I didn't think of doing this before - I've been choosing an ink for piston fillers and staying with it for years to avoid wasting that last 0.5ml each time it got low. Didn't stop to think about it. Silly me. :blush:

 

 

Will work for pens... :unsure:

For me today it’s a Pelikan M1005 Stresemann in M with Edelstein Tanzanite, a green-black M800 in F with Diamine Presidential Blue, and a red Lamy Safari in a 1.1mm stub with Edelstein Topaz.

 

A blue day...

 

EDIT: the red Safari went dry and was replaced by a blue medium (also full of Topaz), and now a Sharpie has joined the party.

      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
