My first was the Shuttle, from the first years of the new century. The cap looks a bit like a rocket with a red pointed end to look like a nose cone. Soft 1k nib. I just filled it for the first time in quite awhile.
Than I got one whose name I can't remember but it screws on (and off) asymmentrically.
Then I saw the Ulysses 99, which i really wanted, because I love the Odyssey and I was about to lead a small group on a trip to Greece. It was very expensive, but luckily there was a smaller "Telemachus" (O's son), and I took that with me.
Later I had someone switch in a vintage gold nib. Still later, Barrie Parker was selling a Ulysses 99 for a great price, so just like in the epic the father came home to the son.
I also have a yellow pen, originally part of a 7 pen rainbow tribute to Hong Kong's return to China. That one is currently inked as well.
And finally, a cheerful red steel nib piston filler (no info on the model name) with a slightly Mae West shaped barrel. I just filled that one (in your honor).
So those are my Marlens! I wish I was set up to do photos.
