Couldn't fill my pen from the last bit, as it doesn't reach to the collar of the pen. So it mostly sucks up air. Transferred the last bit to a long skinny tube. Works well!

Have a look at the Ink Miser Shot Inkwell.

It might be a bit easier to use as it's basically a liquid medicine cup.

This looks like a great way to fill a pen, thank you for suggesting it!

Pilot Custom Demonstrator? It looks a little bit different, though, the gold ring is near the nib, not the barrel...

Nib could be an FPR two-tone ultra flex.

Is there a solution? :D

It's a FPR Indus and you guessed the nib correctly! Might as well name the other pen to the right: Kuretake No. 13 brush pen (takes a platinum 800A converter and fountain pen ink but has an actual brush instead of a nib).

Hooray, thanks for the riddle :) I just happen to know the nib because I am looking for a flex replacement nib for my TWSBI Eco and stumbled more than a few times over FPR but they won't fit without some modifications to the feed. At least I found a retailer.

For the pen to the right I would never have guessed that as the brand is new to me. Thought about a Sailor, japanese and all, but there also were subtle differences (thinner black plate above the clip, two gold righs on the body). Will look that up, thanks
