I have bought similar pens from other makers in the past and found that the performance of the nib is quite ordinary, in one case it was poor. Is a Twiss pen all about the looks or is there some performance and personality behind the pretty face?
I have three of his pens and they are gems. Not because they look good, which they do, but because they are perfectly balanced and make writing effortless. This was my first Twiss pen

My newest purchase is a Soennecken 112, a pretty Platinum pocket pen, and an Arnold grey and black swirl with a Waterman nib. I bought them from the one and only Penwash (Will) of Redeempens at the Dallas Pen Show. :D

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Bit fed up with some of the crap I've been sold, so I've taken the plunge and bought a near mint striped Waterman W5. The price is approx $135, which probably isn't much of a deal, but as long as the pen is in the described condition I won't mind overpaying a bit.

A 1991 Montblanc 149 I got in trade from Ray, along with 3-ink bottle set of Iroshizuku Tsukushi, Yama-budo, Kon-Peki.

A vintage bottle of Parker Quink ink. The bottle is cobalt blue glass (never seen one ever) and the shape is interesting too.

That's cool. Do you know what year did Parker produce these blue bottles until?

These two, arriving a few days apart from each other, both very special and different.

Pretty funny to see that 2nd pen after the 1st and think: "Out, damned spot!"

A well restored, dark brown, English made Duofold.
Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
I'm celebrating Fountain Pen Day 2019 with my latest find: a 1941 Sheaffer Lifetime "Tuckaway" set, the 1st gen that was only made for 2 years. This one is a Vacuum-Fil version with 14k gold-filled cap and barrel, and matching (working!) pencil. A niche in my Sheaffer collection I've wanted to fill for a while, certainly worth the hunt. Oh, and bonus points to those who spot any other temporal connection to this day...

Bingo! You are the first person to perceive the connection! As of yesterday, that movie no longer takes place in the future.
