I just picked up the Platinum 3776 black with silver trim in a medium. Very nice writer but a little shorter unposted than I expected.

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Courtesy our own member Cryptos, I now have - all the way from New Zealand - a very nice Moore in a style I did not previously have. These were quick photos to document the arrival, but it is a gem of a pen, and I'm very pleased. Thanks, Cryptos!

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Glad you like it, Jon. If there are any issues please let me know, but I think most people rate Danny Fudge as great restorer. Wait until you get some indirect sunlight on it. The pattern is surprisingly complex.
Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Allthough i donīt go much for modern pens, i found this nice MB 149 with a BB nib, i still prefer the BB nib on my early sixties 149, but this newer MB pen has some more weight to it which i like.

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
I just got back from a trip, and by coincidence I (1) had sent off several pens for repair before going and (2) bought a couple on eBay. So I got home to find seven pens waiting in the mail. It was fun!
First a couple of Parker Duofolds, vest pocket size, with very different nibs. (The nibs have numbers on them: 046136 snf 055040; does anyone know what they mean?
Duofolds1.jpg
Next a Duofold Junior to match them. The green is discolored as usual. The Duofolds were all restored by Sean Nicholson of Write on Time.

An Esterbrook (my first) restored by Brian Anderson. Now I have to learn more about these guys and their various nibs.

Next a Skyline (one more!) restored by Syd Saperstein. The sticker says Fine-Flex, but it's more like semi-flex in my hands.

And the two from eBay: an Omas Extra 620 and an Onoto The Pen. My wife loved the Onoto. I haven't made up my mind on the Omas, which is nice but has a couple of issues.

So many pens all at once... It's fun, but also a bit overwhelming!

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
A very smart Swan Calligraph.

It was in terrible order - have a look at the disgusting object left of the pen in the picture. That is the remains of the pressure bar, encrusted with a thick layer of concrete-hard black ink. The nib feed and section were the same and the barrel needed an hour in the ultra-sonic cleaner.
I have another Calligraph and like this one it is apt to write a little on the dry side. I hope to attend to this aspect soon.

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Another recent arrival: the tiny English Golden Cockerel pen. I would describe the nib (Warranted 1st quality) as a size 000!

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Here is my other pen. Thank you "Zhivago" (Forum Member and seller)
After a few hours of google and reading I concluded (I am probably wrong as even "Zhivago" could not verify either)
That I now own a:
Sheaffer Triumph Statesman II in Carmine.
Dated Between (1945 - 1947) With a Triumph Lifetime Nib and Vac-Fill / Plunger Filling System.
White Dot Located at the tip of the cap.
