Thought I'd try an old fountain pen of mine.
It's an old Platignum Calligraphy pen with a fine italic nib. I fancied a new fountain pen so went for the new Lamy Safari in Dark Lilac. I then got my two old pens out, the Platignum and am old Osmiroid. Not sure if it's the Diamine Jet Black or the Osmiroid needs a good clean but I'm not happy with the flow. Both pens are probably 25 years old though and haven't been used again until this week.Love it.
What pen?
You have really solid handwriting btw.

Is that Montblanc Lavender Purple ink?
I still find it very hard to believe - but I've been enabled! It's the colour! Bought a ballpen and a fountain pen. Now to dig out - I know where they are - my old fountain pens and get 'em working. I even have a bottle of ink - assuming it hasn't dried in the years since it was last opened.

Edit: Ink's OK, maybe a little thickened, but the pens are junk and beyond salvation anyway.
It's quite possibly the new Lamy Dark Lilac ink to go with the new pen. Although I think mine is a little darker.
My ppens were/are a Parker 45 and either a Japanese or Korean - I think the former - gift from someone to do with ships
See that pen porn ^^^^ - that's what did for me. Ain't it just so purdy? I ordered one with a broad nib but already think I should maybe have bought an italic nib of one width or another.
