    This was a big day... Jinhao 599 in plastic, flushed it, writing perfectly well.

    Three vintage pens all of which had issues disclosed by the seller but seemed to have potential -

    a Wearever in an interesting black with mop look chips, button filler, needs some work where the button is,

    something with an Eversharp nib - not sure how much tipping is left, it looks to be an italic. This came with a Wearever cap which definitely does not match the barrel, the barrel is very interesting and I'll have to look around and see what it might be

    A pen with no name on it and the clip and jewel missing from the top, but a gold nib. The nib has a crac at the base extending up towards the breather hole, but not there yet. Not quite sure what to do about that.

    Those last three didn't cost much either, and I knew the issues going in so even though they sound like a traffic accident - or three traffic accidents - I am happy with them.

    Lamy Joy with a 1.1 italic nib.
    The Joy looks just like a desk pen, the overall length is the same as my Parker 51 desk pen.
    It just does not have a base. I need to find or make a base for it.

    The Joy is a really nice pen to use.
    The grip is comfortable. I apparently have a somewhat standard tripod grip.
    The 1.1 nib writes cursive very nicely. It gives me line variation without the cost and effort of a flex pen.
    And if I decide that I want a standard nib, I can swap out the 1.1 nib for a XF or F nib.

    Now I'm going through the grueling exercise of trying different inks to see what ink looks best out of that 1.1 nib.

    After a lot of pondering and review reading, I purchased a Falcon EF resin body, which my wife immediately claimed. Determined to have a Falcon I ordered another. I thought I was getting an identical pen, though I should have noticed the $100.00 price difference. In any case, I now own this Falcon EF with a metal body - and I love it.

    Me too, and I wasn't aware of it until I got the pen.

    I'd forced myself to turn it down. But, I couldn't stop thinking about it and decided to break down. But, horrors, Goulet Pens was out. Fortunately, I found one for sale at Fountain Pen Hospital.

    Let me just say that the pen is as attractive as I'd hoped, possibly even more so. I really love it!

    Added the Neon Coral Lamy Safari to my collection! There it is, right on the bottom. I almost have a gradient going on with all of the colours.

    A Parker 45 arrived last week. I'm enjoying its durability and I have a Platinum 3776 M on its way.

    Is that burgundy? And the ink is....?

    Looks great in the pic! I have the MF nib in a ProGear.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!
