Today (so far) it's been the recently acquired black Parker 61, F? nib -- still with whatever ink was in the capillary sponge when I got it; and the purple Pilot Falcon, SF nib -- still with Sailor Souboku.

Cross C-Series, with the Heriltz blue-black that was boxed with a Bugatti pen.

 

This is a curious, massive pen. I don't have a scale, but it weighs a lot, at least as hefty as a Jinhao 159. That's all right with me; I like to write with a solid pen. The notches in the finials give it an intriguing industrial look. And I have a soft spot for spring-loaded clips. The nib is 18K and writes nicely, but I do think it's undersized for a pen as substantial as this.

Sheaffer and pilot collaboration from 80’s that takes int standard cartridges, leaks from ring just above nib on base of section and is a definite finger stainer

I exercised all 3 today...the Sailor, Namiki, and Narwahl (or whatever the new name is)...even if for just several lines or so each.

Being newish, I have no idea how long an ink cart, or converter filled with ink lasts, not how fast it would stop "flowing" after 

a period of non-use.  So far, I think I have no favorite among these 3 pens; they all are fantastic writers.

Today it's been:

1) the new-to-me Parker 45 (Dark Blue/Midnight, F nib) with vintage Quink Violet.

2) some Waterman c/c pen -- I think it's an Ideal Exclusive (black, F nib) with vintage Skrip Royal Blue.

3) Pilot Falcon (purple, SF nib) with Sailor Souboku.

ETA:  I THINK what's in the 45 is Permanent Violet, rather than Washable Violet, because it was in one of the brown glass jars I decanted the large bottle of Permanent Violet into....

Today it is the Montblanc Gold Leaf with flex nib, filled with Montblanc Gustav Klimt ink.

I think, these fit excellently together. ;) :)  The blue looks surprisingly well represented although I didn't use any colour correction.

 

(sorry for the bad light and shadows on the photo)

One life!
