This had better be my last post in this forum for a while, otherwise I risk being accused of taking over the place ... :stop:
This is a pair of vintage Parker pens that I find just stunning. The first is a 1936 green marble Challenger Deluxe with a 14kt fine nib. The pen is a button filler.

I love writing with this pen which has a very comfortable feel in the hand. Usually I don't post the cap. The nib is typical vintage Parker, being quite firm but with a nice feel on the paper and a very consistent ink flow.

The second pen is a sea-green pearl 1932 Duofold Juniorette ring-top button filler with a 14kt B italic nib. This is a very small pen that has to have the cap posted in order to write with it.

And for a size comparison of the two, here is the final shot of them both together.

For these shots with the Fuji X10, white balance was taken manually, aperture was F11, and manual focusing was used with a 2 second delay on the shutter. Both pens were purchased from Gary Lehrer (gopens.com) - no affiliation other than being a very happy customer.
