Mont Blanc 144, M 14ct nib, filled with Quink Blue, supported by a MB Solitaire ball pen. I like the Solitaire as a jotter when I carry the 144 as it is easier to pick as ball point in my vest pocket.

Oddly, for me, a Parker Duofold with OM nib. Ink is Herbin Perle Noire

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Pelikan Pelikano MK2 1965-9 filled with diamine turquoise. This beauty is my "works" pen it was 99p on ebay and its lovely to write with and hold, it is fitted with a faber castell converter which fits beautifully and holds enough ink for one day of meetings, it doesnt dry out even if left for weeks not being used! <3

I decided to only ever have two pens inked at any one time to avoid having them dried out. Currently, to my amazement, I'm down to only three!

 

TWSBI 540 smoke EF with Pharmacist's Turkish Night. Apart from the pen being probably the best I have, I'm still impressed that a hobbyist can produce inks that rival the major ink makers.

 

Serwex 362 with Camlin black: Although a brief inspection makes it very obvious that this is a cheap pen, it has a good nib, better than most Chinese pens anyway. The piston is quite stiff. I think I've had to use silicon grease to stop leaking on most of my Serwex pens, can't recall if I had to on this one. The ink is an ugly grey rather than black and not particularly well behaved but I'm too cheap to dump it :-)

 

Submarine (Indian brand), forgotten the name, with Lamy Green. I decided after I received it that I would never ink it since the cap turned out to be cracked. Apart from he fact that it will presumably disintegrate completely if I use it, I expect it will lead to it drying out eventually. I decided to give it a go anyway, and even though the nib looks like a typical crappy IPG, it actually writes quite well.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
