Show us your very favorite fountain pen! One you own.

Must include pics!

I know it's hard, but we are all droolers here and need our fix!

I will let someone else start.

I really can't say that any of my pens is a favorite or maybe whichever pen I happen to be using at that time is my favorite; but there are a few pens that I did use for extended periods as my only pen that kept filled.

The first is my Aurora 888P (second from top) I recently flushed and put away. I used it as the only fountain pen continuously filled for about four years. It is cartridge filled and I used Platinum cartridges or converters natively and a Platinum adapter with Standard International cartridges.

A second is one of my Waterman Gentleman from the early 1980s. I alternated between two versions, one a Sterling Silver and the other Bordeaux (Second from right). The Gentleman is slightly smaller than the Man 100 and felt much better in hand.

The third is a Striated Marine Green Balance (also second from right) that had belonged to my grandfather and that he gave to me in 1956 or 1957. It's a plunger fill and has been rebuilt at least once. I used it all through high school and part of college and pretty much solely during the first few years of my working life.

So my favourite pen is this M900 Toledo (Extra Fine nib).

But the pens with the most interesting nibs is this duo. The first in platinum trim has an "Italic Edge" nib created by Montblanc in collaboration with a specialist German stationer called Fritz Schimpf. The second in yellow gold trim has a flexible Calligraphy nib. (The nib is impossible to keep clean as you can see).

It is the M900 that gets the most use however and is my favourite.
