What is your latest pen acquisition?

My lab pen quest is complete! Here's Mr. Torelli's scan of the "51" flighter I had him customize with a stainless steel hood, connector, and cap jewel--it should be pretty much bomb-proof!

Picked up this little cutie from Myk Daigle last week. Besides being a nice pen, it is going to serve as the template for a (future) custom pen in larger size. Moore Ringtop in RHR:

A Platinum 3776 Century Bourgogne with B nib. It arrived on December 1. I ordered it on November 13 from a Japanese seller on Amazon. I currently have it loaded with Blackstone Red Cashmere.





I took near some large windows (north facing) but it was a cloudy day so the light wasn't as good as I would have hoped for. The Bourgogne color really pops much more than what these photos show.

I've been interested in Aurora after trying out an Aurora Style Gemstone pen. Sadly, most of the pens are outside my price range. Then I found this vintage Aurora 88 which is in my price range. I'm looking forward to its arrival later this week.

Pen and ink arrived today. Kaweco Sport in Cognac with matching Cognac ink by Seitz-Kreuznzch.

[Sailor Kenshin]

My Dad gave his old fountain pen. A Sheaffer Targa! I really enjoy writing with it and its the first gold nib I've ever written with. Very excited to have this.

I have 2 Targas and they are among the best writers I own. That is a perfect first foray into gold nibs. Enjoy.

An old danish MB 244 piston filler from the fifties, with a flexible EF nib, and an old MB pix 72g pencil, which i really don´t know much about, but it feels like a wel-built pencil, and it´s in perfect working order (maybe from the forties?).

Got mine yesterday too. The nib (EF) was very scratchy and essentially unusable. After a bit of alignment and some polishing, it writes really well. Could be a bit wetter though.

I found this at a fleamarket, it´s in good shape and just needed a new sac, the nib is very flexible and marked "wahl 2" and is 18k.



There is a mark below the cap ring ( it can be seen on the second pic), which i can´t figure what means, there is a similar mark on the nib

[Pelikan-Vera]

oh farmdogfan that is a beauty. congratulations

[farmdogfan]

Thank you very much Pelikan-Vera, have you any idea what the mark means?.

[Hawk]

Beautiful pen, farmdogfan. I wonder if you can get a picture of the nib?

[farmdogfan]

Thank you Hawk.

Here is a quick snapshot.

Yeah the F nib I got on mine took a bit of breaking in. It was scratchy and unusable as well. This was also the case with my amethyst but I just had to soldier through the first pages of use and seems to be fine now . The amethyst is one of my favorite steel writers.

That mark on the Wahl celluloid is really odd. It's as if someone had tried to hallmark the rings, and missed.
