It turns out the feed had come slightly unseated. It's back up and running now, so I'll be using it again until I run it dry.

Pictures don’t capture the true brilliance this pen shows as the mother of pearl effect on the gold stripes is stunning.

Very pleased today to be writing again with one of my Waterman Kultur pens. When I first got back into fountain pens I foolishly used the Kulturs to learn to smooth nibs and did a terrible job. Now of course they are expensive and you can't really buy spare nibs like you could. Due to my tinkering, none of them have written well for a long time, but this morning I noticed the section on the Medium nib had a crack on both sides. I pulled the nib and feed and replaced the section with another I had, and its writing very nicely indeed. I'm using Waterman Serenity Blue, which is my test ink. I've written through the initial ink glut and it's flowing well. I love this pen because it has a larger section than most, which I find more comfortable to hold than a narrow section.

I am not sure there are enough superlatives for that pen. Stunning! My M600 is extremely jealous
My Conklin Endura Oversize has returned after a major job on the nib. It writes baeutifully buta bit wet. Nothing Clairefontaine paper can handle though 
A big thank you to Eric

Picture from delivery day. Lamy 2000 extra fine nib filled with Waterman Serenity Blue. Filled out paperwork to send off.
One of my all time favorites, if not thee all time favorite. Enjoy!
Opus 88 clear demonstrator EF, Diamine Majestic Blue
This week's carry - Parker Sonnet (1994) Cisele, EF nib
I purchased this pen in 1994 at a local office supply store's open house - bought it directly out of the Gillette/PaperMate rep's display case, as the Sonnets were just being introduced to replace the 75s. It came with the 18K Fine nib, and I augmented it a few years later purchsing the 18K EF two-tone nib, the latter installed currently. Loaded this week with GvFC Midnight Blue.

I swapped the silver EF that my Opus 88 had with the black F from my Monteverde Invincia. I don't know why they put a silver nib on a pen with a black clip. Ink is Diamine Majestic Blue with some Merlot mixed in.
