jjhatfield, beautiful pens! The LeGrande, Safari and M800 look gorgeous!

It's funny how I used to have the a Mont Blanc and a Pelikan, both one model lower than yours: Chopin and M600. I too preferred the M600.IMHO, Pelikan make better everyday pens than Mont Blanc. The nib is smoother and the ink delivery is more controlled. Not to mention Mont Blanc pens cost nearly twice what you would pay for a similarly sized Pelikan. Hence, I sold my Chopin awhile ago and my M600 is now my daily pen. I haven't regretted doing so

jnapier, again, what a gorgeous pen! I'm contemplating getting a Sandy Brown/Red one myself How do those write?

i think it's fairly smooth and slightly flexy, though this is my first fountain pen ('cept from a £5 Parker) and can't really compare it to any other pens. but it is well balanced.

The Van Goghs are beautiful pens! Each one's unique.. I have it in blue and green.

Hi, Hirsch!

Oh My, Oh My, Oh My!

Thanks for posting them. Nice pics, too -- very clean/crisp.

Aha! Very neat idea. I've been toying (pun) with the idea of getting one to Velcro to my Tomahawk -- but that's a great idea. I can work the shuffle without handling the Toma, and associates will assume it's just an eccentric pen accessory!

Beautiful Visconti, too.

Enjoy

All nicely atmospheric/dramatic pics of a lovely pen. I especially like this pic.

Well my pen collection has expanded exponentially...



I have 2 Waterman Phileas pens. One black and one blue. The blue has a medium nib and the black has a fine nib. Those would be the two sitting on top of the bottles of Waterman's ink.

The pen sitting on top of the bottle of Noodler's Red-Black is my red Lamy Safari with a fine nib.

In the front row are my vintage pens. All of these need restored and will be when funds allow. From left to right they are:
Parker Duofold from 1927-1929
Eversharp Skyline from 1941-1948
Parker Parkette Deluxe from 3rd quarter 1937
Sheaffer Fineline from 1947-1955

The silver and gold pen in the middle is my Danitrio Tactical Carry II. This color and checkered finish is a prototype and currently there are only 2 of these in this finish.

Here is a better (not taken by me) picture:


Not shown here is a bottle of Noodler's Aircorp Blue-Black ink and a Sheaffer Viewpoint Calligraphy set (3 pens).

I've suddenly fallen in love with the Parker 51... Determined to track a couple down. The partially hidden nib is just so nice.

What a beauty!!!





I'm going to faint...
