A UK made black barreled Parker 51 with m nib, filled with Quink blue/black and curiously with a Parker 21 cap that I found in the wild for $2.50. I also found at the same time, a 14ct nibbed, gold capped, burgandy barreled Parker 45 (not my favorite model of Parker)for $3.50 and a Shaeffer snorkel, early 1950s model , 14ct nib for $1.00 that will need a visit to a specialist.

A Parker 45 a friend got me on eBay that I neglect. The steel nib on it is perfection. I have it inked with PR American Blue.

Been using a Lamy Safari daily for awhile now. I got this pen about 5 years ago and it wrote horribly - poor ink flow, scratchy nib and it skipped. So, I stuck it in my desk drawer and forgot about it. When I stumbled across it about a month ago, I thought I'd give it another try. I have no clue why, but it now writes perfectly.

 

Hmmmm..... I wonder... My son sometimes behaves horribly. If I stuck him in my desk drawer for 5 years, do you think he would come out behaving wonderfully? ;-) BTW, that's a joke, so don't go calling child services on me ;-)

Parker Duofold Centennial (Black) with a fine 18k nib and iroshizuku horsetail

 

I think this might be a better writer than my Pelikans, Namikis, and Auroras costing twice the price.

      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
