Perhaps one day I can get the dark lilac Safari.....
Argh, decisions, decisions!
Nibs? You didn't mention the nibs you chose.
Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
I picked medium for my Pilot and the petrol Safari. The green safari has a left handed nib, just to try out.
The first order arrived yesterday. The petrol Safari will arrive in a few days. But I can't wait to try out the Pilot and the green Safari! Though the green color has to grow on me.

A Conklin Endura Oversize in Lapis Blue that I put together literally from pieces. A lot of work on this one :D
Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Beautiful pen, Will. Last year I looked at the Bexley Demeter as a cheaper alternative (and because I got burned on an Endura before that) but at the end of the day it's not the same thing at all.
Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Nice work. That baby is just glistening. Absolutely gorgeous. What’s the nib?

Ah yes, the Demeter. I once wondered if those live up to their inspiration.

The nib is a Conklin Toledo semiflex. I'll be using this pen to do a sketch (or two), I'll post some shots with the nib open.

Such an excellent pen and great work on your part! I've only got Lapis in one of the smaller sizes and I haven't been chasing the full and oversize models for a while. Maybe in my retirement. Certainly you've set a high bar! Beautiful color on this one.

I missed out on the Sapporo Mini and just recently acquired this Nagasawa 'PenStyle' MEMO in Yellow with an H-F 14k nib... and I'm thrilled!

Thanks, Jon. The blue lapis tend to be preserved better on a Conklin (as opposed to Wahl or Parker) at least in my observation.

Thanks for this comment Cob - I have been wondering who to send a busted 14c MB 142 nib to...

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
That's particularly nice trim. Well found.
Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
So gorgeous! Good job, Will.
Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Two ASAs - a Nauka transparent and a Mist in translucent orange. Plus a new Franklin Christoph SIG nib which I need to put into one of my Edison Colliers....

How are those Nemosine nibs?
I'm very pleased with the various Nemosine nib sizes I've acquired with these pens. Much more than the Knox nib also offered.
