Duke 209 Fountain, very cheap but pretty decent.

Parker Urban Fountain..... It's supposed to be for the Mrs but she can't be arsed using a fountain so it get's filled with Pink Ink and used for cards and special occasions.

Jinhao X750, cheap huge and beautiful to use with Blue Parker Quink.

Hero 832, cheap and extremely heavy. My first re-introduction to fountain pens.... Now gets filled with Red Ink and used for highlighting duties... A lovely writer though.

If I wasn't at work you'd be getting another 'post whore' emoticon!

Hero 382, cheap and excellent.... Perfect size and weight..My pen of choice with Noodlers Black Ink.

Fisher Space Bullet, all the benefits of the standard Space Pen but in a really cool size and shape. This is what's most likely to be found in my pocket day to day.

And that's it for now.

It's not 'post whoring' if it's on topic and to point.. It's just 'posting'

I did buy this lapis lazuli pen but found that it was smaller even than my silver one and not as beautiful in the flesh so I sold it. [ATTACH]18751[/ATTACH]

Well, it looks stunningly beautiful in the photo, so it's no surprise it didn't look as good in the flesh.

I have a couple of Mont Blanc Miesterstuch pens, this one is the best in solid silver with gold trim, nib and clip. This one is actually one of 50 bought from Mont Blanc by Tiffany & Co to give to their exec's. I have a fat piano black mens Miesterstuch too. Excuse the photos, I use it daily so it could use a polish.

Very interesting pen - and what a back story. How did you end up with that one? Love that it's in regular use, just as any luxury item should be!

Isn't it just a right bugger! My problem is that I've been buying from those sites... Pens, watches, cigars... they're all just so inherently attractive things, and so easy to build up a love of. Thankfully I've just been buying ink... (Along with the Iroshizuku from my previous post, which I am literally drooling with anticipation of, I went for a Diamine Majestic Purple, following out discussion of damson inks... Okay, a little more blue-purple than red, but just looks lovely. Think that will become my new signing ink).

Now have a new pen at the top of my want list though... The Waterman Edson in Sapphire Blue:



I shall add my office collection tomorrow, now it's fully become a 'show you mine' type thread. Though I've just been having a look at those Hero pens VTG, think I may have to try one of them myself, especially if you use one of them as your go-to (given that you've already said your a fan, like myself, of weightier feeling pens - if they work for you, it would probably work for me).

It is when its a post per pen!

[ValeTudoGuy]

That Edson Sapphire is gorgeous!

Re-the pen posts, mods feel free to merge them if it's an issue.... Though I imagine it would be one entire cluster fuck of a post.

Isn't it just stunning... At ?750 RRP I'm going to have to wait for a special occasion though (even at the ?420 Amazon have it for currently...)

Off the back of your recommendation (by dint of good words) and a couple of reviews I could find of this pen, I've just ordered one. Will be a cracking pen for the money if it's even a tenth as good as impressions seem to suggest.

I've never actually given much thought to pens but this thread has certainly kindled my interest! I genuinely had no idea they were so varied; I have no idea where to start!

At least it won't have broke the bank if you don't like it as much as I do!
