    I've got my new pen this morning, it's a Parker made in Canada

    Please forget the awful handwriting

    My Visconti Opera club Blue Typhoon arrived finally. It comes with the 14k F nib and writes smooth. The line variation is not bad at all.

    Very nice. The unique part about this Visconti is that the nib comes out easily and separates from the feed for super easy and thorough cleaning. You may also find leaving the end unscrewed a bit helps tremendously with ink flow. Tell us what you think about the mosquito attachment!

    Tracy, it is just a Opera club with the converter , not the power filler with the mosquito syringe. I like the color pattern of this Opera very much.

    Ah, my bad. But still, I totally agree with you on color and the Opera series, in my opinion, is one of their very best!

    Yes, I agree with you, Tracy. The size, weight and the color pattern, Opera is the best from Visconti.

    Again not the fanciest of pens but a nice addition to my 70's schoolpen collection: 2 Shaeffer NoNonsense with Italic nibs in good shape, given the 30 years they have been around.

    Both are very smooth if I manage to get the angle right, the slightest deviation from the sweet spot and the nib, most of all the F, sinks its teeth into the paper and stops moving. I'm getting used already. The Sheaffer people are friendly enough to provide the original sample calligraphy cards in PDF on their website.

    Nice. I have that blue version in a fine nib. It is a fun kick around pen. If you ever want to get rid of one of those italic nibs I would happily trade.

    I promised myself a nice pen as a reward for finishing the novel I've been writing for the past year or so. When I finished, I couldn't bring myself to spend the cash on the Pelikan as planned. Instead, I found this beauty, and I like it a lot:



    Now I need to start a new novel so I have an excuse to write with it!

    Thank-you. I do some photography, but I never tried this kind of thing. I might get addicted. Unlike my usual subject (high school sports for the local paper) the pen and ink actually stood still!

    The book is a science fiction novel about a spaceship breaking yard. The hero was crippled as a boy while working in the yard, and he has turned out to be interesting enough that he may make a sequel or two.

    What kind of pen? Sure is purdy.

    I think my latest is that black Al-Star with a black nib.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!


    And my latest ebook, for spooky wintery reading:

    I picked up a Conway Stewart Wellington Dartmoor a couple of months ago from a local store, and it had nib problems right off the bat, so I sent it off to Mary, and just got it back yesterday. It's a gorgeous pen, and Mike's work on the nib turned it into a gorgeous writer as well.

    A real '34 or so Vacuum-Fil with a 14K nib. Found in the wild at a 'Antique' shop in Oregon. Paid $25.

    This is posted in the DC pen show thread so now I am just being ridiculous. This is a Delta, with an unfinished finish, sort of Matte if that makes sense. The trim and nib are all rose gold, the nib is stub. This belonged to Bryant Greer of Pen time/Chatterley and was never inked because it is #0/18. He decided to put it on the table. I told him I'm not about the numbers, and it would definitely get inked!
