All my pens by churl.
Notes for details. Please observe that all the nibs are dirty, meaning they're all inked. Use em or lose em!

EDIT - I thought about it the other day, and between ink and pens and supplies, I think I've spent over $1000 in fountain pens. The sick thing to think about is that when I buy a Mont Blanc, it will cost about the same as half of my current pens.

Hello,
Nice pen collection!
I have an Aurora Ipsilon rollerball pen and a ballpoint one, but was contemplating to purchase a fountain pen as well. How do you like the feel of yours? For my fountain pens, I like fine nibs and I see that yours is a fine nib, too. So I had to ask :>

Thanks!

My Aurora Ipsilon fountain pen fine nib is very, very toothy and for the same price, I have a lot nicer pens. After a lot of work, I've gotten it to write okay.

great collection I have the vector but alas I cannot lay hands on the other pens as they are just not available in India. Is there a site on the internet where I can buy them?

The converter in the Lamy Vista doesn't seem to be seated properly. You can see the pimple that is supposed to snap into place through the ink view window.

that is sick, if you've switched over to ink gel roller balls and disposable cartridge fountain pens as I have

cool photo, nice collection, write on!
