Off the top of my head I think I would go with a Sheaffer PFM.

If money were no object I would purchase a Visconti Templar. Very stunning limted edtion pen.

JohnCruzNg · April 13th, 2010, 11:37 AM

I also would have to choose the Visconti Knights Templar. I would have it fitted with an EF nib handled by Mr. Binder. It is just a beauty.

One? Good heavens, there's so many of them. Let's examine some candidates, going backward in time:
-Something Nakaya (possibly not-- like a tattoo, it's a lot of mental effort and a huge commitment)
-Waterman Edson in sapphire
-One of the spiffier MYUs
-PFM Autograph
-Vacumatic Imperial
-Waterman 100 Year, first year lucite type
-Conklin crescent filler with an indisputable provenance showing it to have been owned by Sam Clemens

There's something to be said about not being tied to a particular maker or era.

Aurora 88 rhodium trim...not sure if I would rather have vintage or modern though. I think I would be scared to use anything more expensive, even if I'm not paying for it.

**TWRDO** · April 13th, 2010, 02:47 PM

My grail pen is a Prather custom "51" in titanium. Very understated, yet elegant, like all "51"s.

The Aurora Optima is my drool pen.

Sharkbait · April 13th, 2010, 05:21 PM

I would love a Visconti Kinghts Templar!

PMS · April 13th, 2010, 10:44 PM

If money was no object, then I would love to have a vintage Pelikan Toledo.

A war time Parker Vacumatic, Emerald Green, with a slightly flexible stub.

**RR4U** · April 14th, 2010, 11:02 AM

A custom made Nakaya Fountain Pen.

**major_works** · April 14th, 2010, 11:43 AM

An Edison Pearl with bulb filler and gold nib. In ebonite.

**sph33r** · April 17th, 2010, 01:48 PM

Probably a Parker 51 Aero with a Greg M music nib.

**donwinn** · April 17th, 2010, 03:14 PM

If money were no object, I would opt for a DaniTrio Mikado, raw ebonite, with EF Flexy nib. That, or a Mikado with beautiful urushi finish, and the same EF Flex nib.

j2li · April 17th, 2010, 09:45 PM

If money was not an issue i'd get a MB 149 LE in Rose Gold and probably a Waterman Serenite LE

Ted H · April 17th, 2010, 11:42 PM

M1000

FAmore · April 18th, 2010, 08:46 PM

Mont Blanc Cool Blue SkyWalker would be the fountain pen that I would get if money was not an issue.
