As for me, a couple of Parker Duofold Vacumatics, one black with amber striped ink window, the other in brown stripes.

- A Geha 760 with F nib
- An Osmia 884 with OBB nib
 
both are flexible nibs.

Cor blimey. Those are some seriously pretty pens!

I might have a couple nice things arriving this week. I won't spoil the surprise though.

Haha, yes! Kind of. I wanted to try that pen since quite a while, and now I took advantage of it

The Moss Green is a lovely color. And it shades well on paper.

Yes, that is what I'm hoping for. Have you tried it yourself?

I'm looking for a nice Osmia as well (and a vintage flex), but no new pens for this guy in the rest of the year....

Oh, yes! That was the review what have brought my attention to the new line of GvFC inks!
I'm really looking forward to try it! I might do a comparison review of the Moss Green and the Parker Penman Emerald!
I hope the Stone Grey will be as nice as it seems too!

As for the new pens, I think I can keep my vow for this year, but I can't promise that I won't hit the buy button on 1st January.....

The Emerald Green is also a nice shading ink...too bad its not sold anymore.
I think Diamine has a similar color...woodland green if I'm not wrong.

Yes it is, and it has a nice sheen too!

I'm really looking forward to the GvFC inks, but the UK customs marked the package as "do not fly". I hope they don't mess it up and check the package soon, so could get them before the holidays. I've purchased them from Cultpens, I might ask them about this too.

As for the "no new pens in the rest of the year"....well I can't even  trust myself now....I have one on the way...

A few new things.
New Inks and a TWSBI Diamond 580 with the 1.1 stub nib. Fun, but not practical, I wish they did a 0.6-0.8 cursive italic.

 
also....Pilot-Namiki Reson Falcon in soft fine.

 
I'm afraid my curly and flex writing is dreadful, so I must apologise!

I'm not sure how much I should be listening to reviews on amazon....
But I was influenced by my local pen store and was looking at the Cross year of the snake 2013 M Nib.
I like the stylish look of it and I'm more fond of heavier pens that aren't too thick or long.

Any thoughts from the enthusiasts?

Well, the Special Edition Snake is an Apogee with a fancy finish so you could try that first before spending the dosh on the snake.

For books, there's no better place.
 
For FPs, its full of comments by people who almost nothing about using FPs.
