I am using Lamy 2000 but now, I want to purchase Pineider Avatar UR. Its forest green colour is just making me crazy. Have a look:

Got this in trade. The Parker Vacumatic Azure, 3rd generation with a 2nd generation blind cap. As well as a 1960s-ish Japanese mechanical pencil (this one being branded Kent).
That beauty has it all: great colour, nice transparency, double jewel, pristine furniture and a gorgeous nib. Congratulations.
Franklin-Christoph Model 46 with a B stub nib by Michael Masuyama in (sleek) Classic Black. Oh, and their new coffee mug too.

For the past year, I have been drawn to the Sheaffer conical-nibbed Triumph-style plunger-fillers from '42 to about '49. I picked up two more, one of which is this Triumph Vac-Fill desk pen in golden-brown striated celluloid. This pen strangely included a cap which was explained when Ron Zorn restored the plunger rod and seals. The former owner had used improper pocket pen parts to jury-rig the mechanism and sent the cap along with the pen. Ron had the correct internal desk pen parts and removed the offending parts to put all in proper order. One of these days I should try plunger restoration, but I keep missing Ron's seminar on the topic and I'm reluctant to pour more specialty tools into my pen toolbox.
Wartime Sheaffer production created an odd variation of detail on these desk pens. The trumpet (or "tulip") is threaded to match the threads on the barrel, promoting a tighter seal. Sheaffer moved the white dot around; some (like this pen) have the dot on the barrel while others have the dot on the taper. The celluloid color of the taper could be a better match to the barrel, and I confirmed other examples sport the same. This F is a very smooth writer typical of Triumph-style nibs no matter how fine the tip, even down to EF. The firm upturned tines help make it so, and the huge feed (or "collector") makes ink flow well-regulated.
So, this one is on my desk, filled with Omas Sepia ink.

Parker 75 — only it seems to be sent to the wrong post office for delivery and has stopped moving.
I just ordered last week a Twsbi Diamond 580 ALR, LE, in Prussian Blue with a Stub nib.
At the same time I ord a Lamy Pico. In yellow & Blk. LE,
I also believe I have the same colored Pinider as what yer talking about. I’ll have to look thru my collection?

Visconti Last Lira aka Luigi Einaudi #63 of 975, Stipula Yellow Da Vinci Carbon Fiber T, Stipula Model T, Vintage Fountain Pens, Delta Amerigo Vespucci LE, Pelikan Special Edition Sahara F/P, TWSBI Micarta, Danitrio Mikado, Genkai, Nakaya Decapod Cigar, Watley in Woodgrain, Marlen Yellow Liberty LE, Santa FE Style Custom "51" made by Ralph Prather, president New Mexico Pen Collector's Club.
The second of these is a Sheaffer Crest Vac-Fill with green striated celluloid barrel and frosted stainless cap. The conical Triumph-style 14k nib is a very smooth firm M. The plunger rod and seals were likewise restored by Ron Zorn. I was surprised to note that the pen is as big as my two Valiant Vac-Fills, and have been told it's because this is a Crest "DeLuxe."
But wait, another collector posts that a similar pen is a Sentinel DeLuxe! I need to learn more about these Sheaffer pens from the '40s, but I must stop taking any more of them home!
This pen is filled with Montblanc Irish Green ink, and is currently being used to write cards and letters to my pen friends and card swappers.

Acquired Eight Pilot Supers in need of restoration, with my eye on the one that has a "Coarse" nib that I just finished restoring tonight.
Also have three Montblanc (320, and two 221) that I'm evaluating cleaning/repairing and will have to decide if I want to offer something to trade for them (if not, they'll at least be sent back clean and ready to use to him).
The three oldest ones are from 1958 (January, July, and August), a couple from 1966, and one from 1962. The rest are within that range depending on nib. One of the two 50G has an incorrect nib in it, which may be why the section is cracked on that one, shown next to another 50G with what appears to be the correct nib size. Also seeing that the pens are from 1950s, the large 1975 nib is definitely not a match.
They also look interesting in infrared :P
