My Montblanc Musashi came in.
Franklin-Christoph Model 02 in Italian Ice finish with a Masuyama Fine Cursive Italic nib.
Franklin-Christoph Model 59 Ballpoint. Black laquer with a rhodium finish. Another excellent purchase from a great company.
got my Pilot Matt black Vanishing point fine nib.
Well I bought a Hero De Jue 301 fude calligraphy pen. I must say it`s a fun and nice pen. The nib is a medium all the way to beyond broad and then some by varying the angle of my fude pen. I like it a lot especially for not needing to change nibs to vary the pen strokes. I also bought a bottle of Diamine Night Sky sparkly ink. I think Diamine has tastefully balanced the right amount of silver sparkles to the black ink ratio so that this ink can be used as a daily writing black ink as well. It`s not in your face with sparkly sparkles but enough of it is there to be seen without much effort. I`m sure having a lot of fun with this setup!
[MENTION=44809]Radium[/MENTION] that's some beautiful ink! I've never been sold on shimmering ink, but now thinking that a black or blue black could be really nice.
Picked up a Conklin Duragraph in Forest Green with a fine nib. Been looking for a green pen for a while now, and finally pulled the trigger just in time for Masters week. Also got a 1.5mm Goulet stub.

This is my first shimmering ink and I`m enjoying it and perhaps you might too? I`m eyeing the Diamine Shimmering Seas or Magical Forest as my next possible purchase?
April Fool's Day!
April Fools! I do plan on grabbing the Montblanc Rouge et Noir though. Not quite a Musashi.
You got me
Here's what might be my last acquisition. Nah...
It's on its way to Pendleton Brown for some nib work but I thought I'd share a picture. This is a 1946, Q1 Parker Vacumatic. The barrel is completely transparent. It was never used. No flaws,. scratches, etc...

Gold Filigree eyedropper with a warranted 5 nib
When the ad said "come and dig through boxes" I thought that's just what I call fun. Where I found this was on the floor, under piles of god knows what in an old work shed that was ready to fall down. I love it when they show up like this. Made it worth the 2 hour drive.
Boker + Tactical Pen CID Cal .45 Titanium.

Momento "Islands" w/a medium nib. Mine is mostly lime green & white cracked ice with a touch of blue at each end of the barrel & the base of the cap. Mild disappointment wrt to the nib. I thought it might be a Jowo #5. Easy swap for a FC Masuyama. Not sure what this is. Broader shoulders & a feed I haven't seen before. Will have to look into it more later. Smooth medium after some tweaking though, so whatever. Cap unscrews in less than a turn, but putting it back requires paying attention to avoid crossthreading.
I had this one sitting on my wish list for a while with a $70 asking price. Couldn't bring myself to do it. Caught a sale for $30 & I went with it. Had I paid 70, I would have been disappointed. For 30, it's a solid buy.

Just for the fun of it. 1997, new in the box, Looney Tunes "Taz" pen. $.99 at the thrift shop.

One of my few "store bought" pens, a Pilot Metropolitan, fine nib. Arrived yesterday.
A Woodcraft Kojent I knocked out yesterday, Copper Haze acrylic. This one has a fine nib on it, most WC pens seem to have a medium. Seems to be totally luck of the draw. Very nice writer.
