I have several Pilots in my collection, but I don't think I have ever seen a Pilot Super. Is that a sort of reverse hood?

My kids bought me these for my 50th birthday. I sent my son the new Twsbi Diamond 580 in Prussian Blue with a nice bottle of ink for his birthday.
Kaweco Sport bordeaux red with the Kaweco mini convertor. Nice little package!
I surprised myself once again. Stumbled across pictures of the Montblanc Writers Edition Charles Dickens and fell in love with the greengreyblue-ish colour of the 146 sized barrel and the over-the-top supersized silver cap. Searched around for two days and finally learned that there is still NOS available ex-Montblanc. Still expensive, but i got a good deal, so i immediately pulled the trigger, and now it is on order. I did ask the retailer to have Montblanc check the pen though. Perhaps the piston could use some fresh silicone grease after laying in the warehouse for almost 20 years...
Parker Duofold Junior Deluxe in Black & Pearl Moderne. Haven't done any restoration work yet, but really looking forward to it, cracked nib and all. [emoji5]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7226535a78.jpg

My first Sheaffer, a Crest Deluxe from 1947-48, I think.

Hi,
I've been looking for a second Swan eye dropper and so this one made it's way from England.
It is a 3202 MED with stub nib made ca. 1915 to 1920 with an original leather pouch.
I think it was good luck to find such a nice pen...
Some photos, the Swan as it came, not much to do for restauration, needs some reallignment of the tines.

A not entirely chance exchange with another member just a bit over a week ago led to a decision which I suppose I ought to consider embarrassingly abrupt on two pens that I had considered before. On the left, Parker 180 with an F/B nib. On the right, Faber-Castell Neo with a medium nib. I've had the pen slips for years.
Speaking of embarrassing, it's embarrassing that I keep needing spell check to remind me how many rs there are in embarrassing.

The latest addition to my collection...
Picked this up on eBay from SpeerBob for $29, and it writes better than a pen I own that goes for 10 times as much! In fact, it might be the best writer I own. I'm just blown away.

I just bought (not received yet) a Sailor Compass in olive green and a Wancher x Sailor pink sparkly and white one. I just received a Pelikan Souveran M600 in white and violet, a purple Parker Urban, a purple Parker Vector, and a pastel pink Lamy Safari. A Conklin Courage in red just shipped, and I have a Conklin crescent rainbow and a Conklin Endura abalone on back order/pre order/will arrive eventually.
Hi. I'm TFarnon and I have a pen addiction...
Bought a couple more Vacumatics. I wanted a golden pearl in better shape than the one I have now, and in EF. The azure blue pearl came with it. Both pens have some issues but I'm fairly confident I can get both working again. I'm just waiting for parts to arrive.

The Golden Pearl looks like a beauty. Blue diamond clips?
