My God, it's full of stars!
Had a terrific time at the DC Fountain Pen Supershow yesterday. And I even got to buy some goodies!
Excuse the crappy cell phone photos. I'll try to redo them when I have a little more time.

Top is a Franklin-Christoph Model 03 Iterum in "Smoke" with a Masuyama Medium Stub Nib. Thanks to some shrewd and aggressive bargaining from a B&B Mod (who shall remain nameless to protect his reputation as a pushover), several of us were able to score an excellent "group purchase" deal on this sweet pen.
Middle is a black Parker 61, scored from the same nameless Mod from his personal collection. I'm sure it'll be fine once I clean the cat hairs off of it.
At the bottom is a vintage Pelikan 400NN in Tortoise, with a OF (Oblique Fine) 14K nib. It actually writes more like an OM or OB, but it's a very cool pen and my first Pelikan!
Not pictured is a bottle of Organics Studio "Long Live the Liver" green ink. (Yes, that's the name...) and a NOS Medium nib for my Sheaffer PFM II pen. I love the pen, but the original Fine (or EF?) nib was just too scratchy. I was fortunate to be able to swap it out for the new Medium nib.
Very nice , Larry! Especially that Pelikan.
My God, it's full of stars!
no stars... wrong painter lol
I freed one from the vaul
Thanks Brian
Thanks Brian
Wow...two 61s escaping in the same weekend! Looks like a massive breakdown in security.
I fell for it twice...
First Larry, then James.....
" Hey look... There's a Bigfoot...." I turned back.... both a pen and they were gone..........

BrianW was hacked and held up by the Tswbi Brothers....who knows what else he could have lost if Bigfoot wouldn't have saved him.
Nice haul, James!
