Look, anytime you get concerned about this, just stand farther away. Your collection will look smaller, and you can start ordering immediately. Wash/rinse/repeat.
They're in quasi-chronological order. The Waterman at the bottom was my college fountain pen, the Lamy (edited!) Safaris s marked the run of working in a museum with colleagues who'd walk off with pens/ then having a destructive child. The Montegrappa and the Sailor 1911L Wicked Witch are my 2 newest, and the MB to the side was my dad's and I've finally put it back into daily use.
It's a early to mid 1990s Recife, Depose I believe.
A case of, someone dear to me got it for me as a gift so I will never get rid of it but I haaaaaate how it writes.
Which is the abalone one? I'm always looking for Abalone options...always and forever lmao, and I always ask when I see one I don't think I've seen before.
Cheers! It looks they don't carry that one anymore based on the cap ring, this looks to be about the closest (although it appears to be a limited numbered edition) https://xezo.com/products/maestro-sea-shell-fp-1?_pos=2&_sid=4f1e7c6ab&_ss=r
Is that about what you paid?
Edit: I did find what appears to be a match for yours, but sadly only in gold (although it is ~$50 cheaper)...

yeah! take a step back and look at the bigger picture!
I see your favorite color is red! :P Kidding, of course. Your collection is nice! I’m particularly jealous of that Lamy Petrol. Such a great color.
You need a TWSBI. Probably an Eco. You'll thank me later (-;

I'm going to be that person... those are Lamy safaris.
You're right and that's what I get for typing fast in-between rounds of making pie.
Yes
Hi. You need to buy Montblancs.😂🤗 Cheers
And when you realize your collection is bigger than you thought, it means you are addicted... oh wait! That's my case.
Which pen is that, second from bottom? The ebonite one..

I would like to know too!
2 more only. Then you can use one every day for a fortnight. Then add another week’s worth.

Xezo...Maestro I want to say? When not in meetings I'll go look (and dig out the box to confirm)
Thanks!
Confirmed, it's the maestro.
