Blue Pen Club- Show Me Your Blue Pens!

Dunhill AD2000, 18K M, in dazzling Blue Stardust, so much brighter in person. Funny, by chance this with last week's Lamy Persona makes two pens in a row with retracting clips, when I had none before.

I love the AD2000, and still have a carbon fiber roller.

Oh, Dunhill! I love their pens, too bad they haven't released any new models in a while.

 

I remembered that I have this blue beauty - Sidecar in blue marble. I need to refill it, I haven't used it for a long time!

  Beautiful pens, @Arthur Pewty, @Tashi_Tsering! I’ve always wanted a Dunhill.

Here's my most recent Blue fountain pen acquisition .......

Conklin Duraflex 120th Anniversary, No. 543 of 1,898

 

These pictures are not the actual pen I have, my photo skills are very limited.  So I found a couple that show the incredible color of the pen much better than I could do.

  I really like that resin, @CSSD!

Wow, @dms525- you have the ocean and the night sky in the top two, and a little 🐍 underneath!  Beautiful trio! What grinds (or plans for) are the nibs on the first two?

The two Leonardo's are fitted with stock JoWo stubs - 14kt in the MZG and steel in the Poliedrica. The Viper has a Fine nib. No plans to have any of these modified.

I got this Levenger True Writer Midnight Spark recently. 

 

The blue pen in this photo is another True Writer Porcelain with the TW Origins also in the photo.

OH YES ... THAT PEN!!!

If I recall correctly, wasn't it issued in rose gold nib and trim? I seem to remember, vaguely, that this was the case. 

Even if I am wrong, it's a GORGEOUS pen. 

Gosh .. who doesn't love a richly blue pen? It's like having the smoldering twilight of autumn in your pocket, when the cold finally banishes the humid hell of summer.

And before I forget: CONGRATULATIONS on acquiring a pen in a limited run. Of only 1,898 made, of such an enticing color and finish, that's no mean feat.

  These are gorgeous! The more I look at these True Writers, the more they intrigue me.  The swirl on the Midnight Spark is lovely, and the Porcelain blue is beautiful. The Origins is also a great color.

Those are beautiful and all three are so unique. I just purchased my first Leonardo.

I never tire of looking at these! I have my own TWs on the end table next to the couch. They write so well; I'm amazed.

Beautiful pen/nib/ink!

This thread made me think of my Delta Mask. I reviewed it in 2013 on here and can't believe I've had it for 12 years! I just inked it with Diamine Coral and fell in love with it all over again. The composition is resin and palladium with a medium nib. My photo skills these days are lacking as I've eschewed my DSLR (which I used when I was dabbling in photography) for my iPhone camera.

[Penguincollector]

Oh wow, that shade of blue is spectacular, @Ceramicist!

Thank you! That's what drew me to the pen, and it's really that bright, not enhanced in iPhoto. I do love blue pens and am not sure why I don't have more.

  I finally bought the Diplomat Viper, my monochrome blue micro collection is slowly increasing! 

(the Black IM monochrome is parted out in the background, as that arrived at the same time as the Viper)

top: Cross ATX, middle: Diplomat Viper, bottom: Parker IM Monochrome Blue

 

These are lovely, especially the textures of the ATX and Viper.
