    The first step to getting help is admitting you have a problem! I wonder if there is a twelve step program for fountain pen addiction?

    1 Birthday present Amber Shimmer W'man Carene, fat B nib, almost empty W'man Red cart enlivened by some JH Lie de The, producing a magically shading color

    2 Guanleming 193 fude, which I keep re-filling. This time, W'man Havana and Levenger Shiraz.

    3 Pilot Plumix that was orig. loaded w/ Noodler's AirCorp Blue-Black but got the dregs of Blue Nose Bear and Skrip Peacock, awesome color mix

    4 Charcoal 1.1 Safari with BLACK clip, and yes, dregs of Lamy Blk., Skrip Blk., and some unknown blue that came in a cart...yikes, I am on an ink-mixing jag...

    5 Red Safari, F, Lamy Black

    6 Blue Safari M, Lamy Blue, this is a garden-hose combo

    7 Greenish tealish Pilot 78g M, Skrip Turquoise

    8. NEW Black Ef Nemosine Singularity, Noodler's Zhivago, love this ink/nib combo

    9. NEW ivory Nemo, F, Noodler's BSIAR, another love-this combo, really liking both Nemos

    Of course this is totally not counting the many Preppies and Petits and Varsities. Right?
    I like how you roll.

    The only way to solve the addiction is to give in to it. You need more.
    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

    14. Four of those were new in the last week, so they HAD to be inked, right? An additional two are calligraphy pens, so they possibly belong in a different category. And one is a Pilot Varsity, thus, auto-inked. I've written with at least half of them this week.

    Pardon the delay in responding, I've only just read your request. The pen was initially a dark blue/black M250 that developed a large crack in the top of the barrel. I think the previous owner may have tried to remove the piston mechanism at some stage and started the problem. The crack was initially very tiny and didn't extend down past the piston. As I used the pen (filling and flushing) over time, the crack got longer and longer until it started to leak ink. I was able to purchase a black replacement M400 barrel complete with piston mechanism. After the switch I describe the result as an "M400 Frankenpen" to denote the mix of parts.
