Pelikan M200 again. Hard to put that pen down.
Gorgeous! What a perfect color for a pen. You’re fortunate your wife let’s you use it.I'm honoured today as my wife has let me clean out her long departed mothers Teal Parker 51, it has a gold clip with striped cap. Smooth medium gold nib, with original plush case. It's from the mid 1950s. That all us both know. But the wife says I can use it at home only.

That is a very nice Parker 51. You are lucky to have such a family heirloom! I wish I did. Alas and alack, one day I will inherit my father's 45, but I don't look forward to that day.I'm honoured today as my wife has let me clean out her long departed mothers Teal Parker 51, it has a gold clip with striped cap.

You got me here this time, Mark! Never, ever heard of a Wallace, thought it was a typo for a second. Wow.Inked up another recent rehab.
Wallace. Nice celluloid lever filler. Wet M nib that I smoothed a bit. Found a bottle of Levenger Cobalt Blue that I haven't used for over 10 years!

Thumbnail corrected my Pelikan nib. Thank you very much.You got me here this time, Mark! Never, ever heard of a Wallace, thought it was a typo for a second. Wow.
Is the cap supposed to look like that at the top?
Today I'm carrying a near-mint green/black M200 with a vintage gold nib. (old pic)

I did paper for about a year after I started working, and we all moved to paperless as well. Used to print stuff off, markup by hand and scan just to have an excuse to scribble.Kaweco Sport w/ Noodler's Liberty's Elysium
Sady, none of my pens get used much now with all the online processing I do, but I guess PDF-markups make more sense than hardcopy-markups these days.
