I'm a new member and don't really know the protocol, but I thought I would post photographs of my current collection, for reaction and advice.
These are the "keepers" in my pen box: (l-to -r) They all have "Fine" nibs, though three of the four Pelikans have "Extra Fine".
a. Namiki vanishing point, which I bought about 35 years ago; Pilot Fermo in black; Pilot Fermo in blue
b. Waterman L'Etalon, which I bought about 30 years ago; Waterman L'Opera (this one, I think, I bought about 35 years ago); Pelikan M800 "Ocean Swirl"; Pelikan M805 Stresemann Anthracite; Pelikan M800 "Burnt Orange"; Pelikan M800 "Grand Place"; Platinum Izumo Urushi; Nakaya Neo-standard; Nakaya Portable Writer
c. Sailor Pro Gear, limited edition, "Earth"; Sailor Pro Gear Classic Imperial Black; Platinum President in yellow; Platinum President in blue; Sailor Sapporo "Mini"; Sailor 1911 Full Size "Stormy Sea"; Sailor 1911 Full Size "Anchor Gray"; Sailor 1911 Full Size "Black Silver"; Sailor 1911 Full Size "Burgundy Gold"
These four I will probably "deaccession" -- I hope as a group to someone who prefers the size:
