I'm awaiting Jinhao 159, 301, x450, and x750

I was surprised by how much I like this CopperOrange. And the included ink is a perfect match!

Parker Premium IM ...not too shabby tbh.

Just got a Stipulated speed, most expensive pen I have yet to use it as the integrated piston wasn't. . So now instead of a pleasant pen experience I get to wait to hear back from the seller about a return or if I have to deal with the manufacturer. . Not what I was expecting.

Those are some of the worst pens EVER designed--the barrel is not attached to the section with anything more than a flimsy friction fit, and once they come apart, they don't stay together anymore!!! Sell it immediately, or burn it.

I have never owned a Stipula that worked.
I don't own any anymore.

I received the 159, 301, and x750 today. The pens write buttery smooth even though I had to adjust the tines on two of the pens. The 159 was suppose to be a broad but it feels as if the x750 switched nibs. I'm still waiting on my x450 and second Metropolitan.

Waiting of some Lamy Safari's to match up with my latest buy (Pelikan M100 Stormtrooper) that I got from someone in the forum.
The lamy's I got via fleebay and on a steal!!..

I just purchased a Visconti Opera Mosquito Filler, from Chatterly Pens this week, other wise known as a Snorkel Filler! What a GREAT DEAL I rec'd from Bryant and what a Beautiful Pen and writer!

Chi Town, congratulations. Your Visconti Opera Typhoon Mosquito Filler appears to have much more pronounced swirls than mine which is more predominantly dark blue.
Which nib did you go for ?

**RayCornett** · March 3rd, 2015, 01:28 AM

Little Waterman beauty. Still researching which model but condition wise it's even better than the pic. I would give it a 9. Almost like it was NOS and only dip tested. It arrived Saturday but just got it in my hands tonight.

My "new" old (1953) parker 51 demi set, a bit shorter than the full-sized but still a good size pen.

And as usual with the 51s very smooth writing.

I had a very similar one to this save the metalwork was gold-plated. I was told that it was from the early 40s - featuring the warlike military clip. There was apparently no model number.

Matchy-matchy! The two 2014 Al-Stars I ordered finally both arrived!

A pen and "Executive" Fountain Pen set by Skilcraft - Which is assembled in the USA by Blind made.

Skilcraft is a major suppler of office products for the Military and the Government, I purchased this primarily for nostalgic reasons and curiosity.

Fountain pen is a fine point and surprisingly a very smooth writer the pen is a 1.0mm black ink er ballpoint.

I used Skilcraft pens during my 20 years in the Air Force
