Stunning pens! And good to hear that Sheaffer is owned by a real pen company again. I hope that will revitalise the brand as well. Since the Valor (which I didn't like) they have only developed lower end pens, as far as I know. -- Pitralon forever - Real pens have a nib - If it doesn't tick, it's not a watch.
By the way, I have tried the new incarnation of the Lamy Persona. Only dipped, not filled. I already have the original, so I am not tempted. But it is a lovely pen, and the current version feels as good in the hand as the original. I never understood why they stopped producing it anyway. Same with the Lady, which was a beautiful and innovative pen. -- Pitralon forever - Real pens have a nib - If it doesn't tick, it's not a watch.
Here are mine. Left to right: Very heavy brass, unknown maker, it was a gift. The wood is from a Bulleit Bourbon Barrel. It has a Parker Gel in blue. Chilton Stylewriter, fine point, filled with Parker Quink in blue. Schrade Tactical Defense Pen. Combination fountain pen and roller ball. Fine point and is filled with Noodler's Purple Wampum. The ballpoint convertor is a Pilot G2 in blue. Lamy Safari, medium point, filled with Noodler's Purple Wampum.

I’ve fallen into another rabbit hole it appears. I just ordered 2 pilot metropolitans. 1 black with medium nib and a silver with fine NIB. I should have the black one this week and the silver one next week. Now to research inks and papers. I’ve been looking into this hobby for a while and after receiving a non refillable passport size journal for Christmas. I am now entering a whole new world I am not familiar with at all. I do know I want a refillable type journal, possibly a Midori. The journal was for me to take notes on my other hobby, pipes and tobacco. I have over 50 pipes and 100 different baccy’s. Some baccy is only a tin or two and out of production, others I have pounds of. Some baccy smokes “better” in certain pipes and I have haphazardly made notes here and there but not all in one journal. I can already foresee AD occurring here.
First batch of supplies have arrived. Both pens are Pilots. Black Medium NIB and Silver is a fine NIB. Notebook and journal and an elementary school lined workbook to work on my terrible penmanship. Will try to take better photos of the pens later.
I've got a few. ~ My fat black Jinhao 159 - it writes alright, about as good as you'd expect from it's price tag. ~ Baoer 79 (Starwalker) - it's scratchy and works amazing! ~ Ivory Jinhao X750 - it is super smooth and I love it! Though the nib is a bit thick, I like finer lines. ~ Sailor Professional Gear Silver - 21k gold fine nib (bicolor with rhodium). I got it on a steal (less than half it's price) as it was purchased then returned without being used...so it was sold as 'used'. This baby is silky smooth! I love it!!

This is the majority of my pens, which are a mixture of fountain pens, ballpoints, rollers and mechanical pencils. My most interesting one is the multi colored one on the right in the second picture it is made from the penile bone of a walrus. The file is too large. I will have to post it to another site and then post the URL. DSC_3673 by DaveOl1, on Flickr DSC_3674 by DaveOl1, on Flickr
The good news is that I found my Persona again; it had rolled under the passenger seat in my wife's car ... the bad news is that it earned a battle scar during it's stay down there -- Pitralon forever - Real pens have a nib - If it doesn't tick, it's not a watch.
