Double sigh My mini collection of myus (including a white stripe gifted to me a long time ago) were stolen, I suspect by someone who had no idea what they were.
Great photos, Christoph.
I was using, and enjoying, an M90 yesterday. Superb Pilot designs.

Thank you Malcolm. The M90 is an excellent writer. I have one as well.
although the M90 is an excellent pen, I find the original Myu a little bit more elegant.

Nice pen pics!
Three of my favorite fountain pens out of nine, a Sheaffer Ferrari fine nib, Jinhao X450 medium nib but writes like a fine and Waterman Hemisphere medium nib.

In 2012, I created this photographic collage and published it on Flickr and Fountain Pen Network :
This collage has become one of my most popular photos on Flickr and on many other websites, quoted and copied several times*.
Almost 9 years later, I think it was time to create a new version of it and in particular to give a little more space to the different Pelikan 100.
So here is the new version ot the history of the evolution of Pelikan fountain pens:

What a happy picture
Hello Jon
I appreciate your photo as a contemporary document. But why do you post it twice?
Jon Szanto (February 7th, 2021)
Oh my...
For a very simple reason: I forgot, and since it was on the previous 'page' I didn't see it when I saw your posting of the Pelikan lineup. On top of that, I am now getting to a point in my life where I feel that I am starting to lose a bit of my memory skills, which is worrisome. I'm sorry for the double post (now deleted 2nd version) and will try to keep my wits about me and remember what I've done before I do it a 2nd time!
<sigh> I hope it is all the stress of the last year that is causing this to be an issue for me...
