Anyone know what pen this might be? It&#39;s from MASH (set during the Korean War, filmed during Vietnam). If anyone knows any other pen models that have been in MASH, i&#39;d love to know. #FountainPen<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/mstdnirohtv/media_attachments/files/114/688/043/440/150/652/original/c9f6f9d35470cbae.png"> <br/> 2025-06-15T15:23:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsww0azxtgmhv7783hgn5lrrrp358a8pl79hlhxtzg6pl0u43n65cczyzsy9tzfjlsfdn6jed0kdxcsezwr7ks76ukfca9h6dqcjuteugyhjm27mep Nahvalur, I appreciate that you&#39;re still doing Pride stuff, but your pen this year is lazy af. #FountainPen<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/mstdnirohtv/media_attachments/files/114/687/858/180/649/391/original/e0daf152502a5872.webp"> <br/> 2025-06-15T14:33:32Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd8ta6fjg0k5w4n8ehjcdcevwhed50rx9kgl0n3jmw2g03fpe9weczyzsy9tzfjlsfdn6jed0kdxcsezwr7ks76ukfca9h6dqcjuteugyhj0fxheu #MarioKartWorld Review:<br/>Great game (I don&#39;t think there&#39;s ever been a bad Mario Kart game?)<br/>Overall, do not like the driving to each track gimmick.

I&#39;m not sure exactly if it was mold or the ink separating, but I think part of it was mold. The poor only want even that old, only a year. Is this just bad luck or should I be doing something different with my inks? I see people just leaving ink bottles out where as I have them tucked away to reduce light exposure. <br/><br/>#FountainPen 2025-05-14T12:39:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxhw86px3299sz06a5pv5y6s3nanzt8encfuu5zy5tztjrvq660cczyzsy9tzfjlsfdn6jed0kdxcsezwr7ks76ukfca9h6dqcjuteugyhj3hz75u May 2025 currently inked #FountainPens<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/mstdnirohtv/media_attachments/files/114/504/317/688/061/693/original/f70fe2f9e7510857.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/mstdnirohtv/media_attachments/files/114/504/317/669/516/909/original/fd07679f9aa7ff95.jpg"> <br/> 2025-05-14T04:34:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst67qhuatm2gnkhdlr0tlt4zath95cnevpe8eyfxukcsqe35msetszyzsy9tzfjlsfdn6jed0kdxcsezwr7ks76ukfca9h6dqcjuteugyhjhgk256 Tonight&#39;s #FountainPens in use include:<br/><br/>Delta Duna Happiness &lt;EF&gt; inked with PenBBS 095 Lin Huiyin<br/>Lamy 2000 Pine Green &lt;F 14k&gt; inked with Akkerman Dutch Masters 02 Dou&#39;s Emerald Groen<br/>Ensso Piuma Kuro Tame-nuri &lt;EF 14k&gt; inked with Iroshizuku Kiri-same 2025-05-12T07:23:39Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyz8t6y353sr2al4tv5l6wy0a4nx29mk0glutzr96975y5yarqu5qzyzsy9tzfjlsfdn6jed0kdxcsezwr7ks76ukfca9h6dqcjuteugyhjtdlnyc #NewPenDay finally came.
