The last of the latest binge.
Just received this today. To my surprise, the M1000 is not as big as I had read or thought. My Scribo and Leonardo have more girth. I got my M1000 in a fine nib and yes, it is a wet writer.

I have one with a fine nib as well. An excellent choice!
I found a vintage Tibaldi 20-L in a vintage stall the other day. I have to replace the cork seal on the piston, only I do not know how to remove it 
Today I received a free Noodler's "Charlie" eye dropper pen, with my purchase of Noodler's Heart of Darkness 4.5 oz ink.
This pen is mostly a novelty pen for me, it's a bit small for my large hands, but It does write ok, and I've never tried an eye dropper before.
I really like this ink, and wanted a permanent type ink for my financial ledger, and my daily journal as well.
I added a bottle of Waterman to the picture for scale.

Hopefully the seller installed a new collar. Those clear styrene plastic collars in the 1960s are plagued and always failing, I've replaced dozens. Nice pen, which nib size is it?
Yes the collar had a very small crack in it. The nib is a fine. Using it mostly for journal and work notes. Learning how to use the flex in the nib which is fun.
My newest purchase. The Pelikan K600 in black. I used to prefer the K800 which is larger. Does age make you prefer smaller pens?
Just bought one of these from cult pens.

And after fixing the piston seal myself and having the nib+feed reassembled by a Scottish professional here is the finally working pen in all its beautyI found a vintage Tibaldi 20-L in a vintage stall the other day. I have to replace the cork seal on the piston, only I do not know how to remove it
Just got a two-pack of Sharpie S Gel pens with the metal barrel. Black ink, 0.7mm. Nothing fancy.
I'll be swapping the S Gel cartridges for blue EnerGel in 0.5mm

Every ten years or so I will pick up a new fountain pen. This time it’s from Japan!
My latest acquisition, a British made Parker 45 Flighter with 10k gold nib and original converter.
Very nice Nakaya. If you're only gonna do it once every 10 years, might as well do it in style!
45s are wonderful pens. Enjoy!

Hello all
My long coveted bottle of p w akkerman ink arrived today. If I didn’t hate unboxing videos I would have made one. Beautiful box. Great art. And whoa that bottle. More amazing in person and much larger than I expected. Can’t decide what pen gets to go swimming yet just admiring that bottle a little longer.
I got Vermeer’s kobaltblauw

Cool bottle, eh? I've wanted some of the Masters inks but I've still got 3/4 bottle of Shocking Blue.

Very cool indeed. I read a great review about shocking blue. Do you like it? How’s the sheen
