Beautiful OMAS Paragon LE Arco Celluloid pen, Earthdawn
Today's work pen Visconti 20th anniversary Ragtime (14K-M) with Diamine Steel Blue. A great pen compromised by a silly filling system.

My other pen is a Montblanc.

The Ragtime has a captive converter. You have to unscrew the barrel endcap to access the end of it to fill or empty the pen. The grip section is firmly attached to the barrel and so is the converter. Tandaina had one that leaked, I think Bryant from PenTime was able to unscrew the section with a lot of force for her.

Yup, actually didn't take much force at all. And I can now unscrew it like a normal cart pen. :/

Used two Pilot Preras (both M nib, one green, one pink). Green is loaded with J. Herbin Lie de The, pink has J. Herbin's Violet Pensee. Also cleaned out two of my Lamy Safaris for the beginning of the university term, and loaded them with (apple green) Namiki Black and (neon coral) J. Herbin's Eclat de Saphir.

Apple green Lamy Safari, f nib, with Namiki Black for class notes, and pink Pilot Prera, m nib, with J. Herbin's Violet Pensee for study notes. Good little workhorses they both are.

Thanks Ging Ging, it's probably my favorite modern MB design. This one also sports a oblique double broad nib, which I thought would show off the Stormy Grey to great effect. But, I don't think I shook the bottle enough before filling the pen as the gold shimmer is rather subtle. Oh well, I'll try to get it right on the second fill.
