Day 2 of 30 using a Sailor Shining Blue 14k EF with Sailor Blue Black. I have been using it for very short notes in a commonplace book for several months but haven't enjoyed it - it's  not scratchy, but is too dry for me and I don't feel in control. I'm intending to use it for everything - journal, drawing, doodling for 30 days to see if it can settle in and/or I get the hang of it... so far, not fun.

 

Sailor inks being wet and lubricated, it should work.

 

 I have one Sailor EF (a Sapporo) and it was fine.  Have you looked at it under a loupe, or could you get the seller to replace it?

@langere that’s a very autumnal colored pen. What nib did you get?

Mabie Todd Swan 4260, Diamine Onyx Black.  Going old school.

Today it's been the recently rehabbed Parker Blue Laidtone Duovac Senior(?), F nib (I think) -- Waterman Audacious Red (figured that it was a cheap way to try the ink, but finding I'm not overly enamored of the color); and the Pelikan M205 Blue Marbled, M nib -- still with Pelikan 4001 Blue Black.

A CS Duro, but that's about to change to an Onoto Magna.

I’ve used four. They are a Travelers Company Factory Green brass pen with black ink cartridge, an Edison Beaumont in Molten Ores filled with Diamine Ancient Copper, a Pilot Elite in burgundy with a Pilot ink black cartridge, and a Kaweco AL Sport Iguana Blue filled with Kaweco Paradise blue.

Two pens for today: Platinum Preppy F with Rohrer & Klingner Salix and Parker Vector F with Quink Black.

I have been told it's Emerald Green

Is far as I know, Emerald Green is not an official 51 color (see Parker51 and ParkerPens). On the photo it looks so dark green, I at first thought it was a forest green, but that color was first introduced for the Aerometric version.

Still using my TWSBI Eco blue...with that ink capacity for at least another month or two.

I know.  I had thought that it was Nassau Green, but a pretty well known collector told me it was actually Emerald Green.  I suppose NOW, I need to find a Nassau Green to confirm that.  🙄

There are plenty of Nassau 51s available, but a double jewel emerald green 51 would be a a very special pen. Can you provide more detailed pictures? I know people have modified aerometrics barrels into jeweled pens with an end cap. It is skilled work, so I would be curious on the craftsmanship.

I’m using a blue Parker 45 Arrow with a M octanium nib, inked with a modern permanent blue Quink cartridge. It’s writing in a funny color, so I must not have flushed it completely clear.
