Fountain pen.

This is my best yet.

Made the plastic for the body myself out of polyester resin.

The nib and feed came from a Dupont Classique that had a cracked thread and was leaking ink. So I build this pen around it.

I can't buy that sort of thing for love nor money!
Like the contrast with the blues at the finger grip.
Wrote my way through school and decades into my old professor job.
A couple of Parkers, not sure where they are now.

Went to Staples Office Supply store, wanted to buy fountain pen ink.
"Uh, we have all kinds of printer ink."
Can you still buy fountain pen inks?

I use a "51" I inherited from my grandpa for most all writing, and use Black Parker Quink in it. You can find it in WHSmiths ( http://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/parker-quink-fountain-pen-bottled-ink-black-ink/33956657 ) or marginally cheaper elsewhere and online if you can wait for postage. Serves me well.
