    Default Several for Trades (or $ offers). Pilot, Montblanc, Eversharp x2, Pelikan

    Larger Resolution Image : http://i.imgur.com/mxTKdXU.jpg

    Metal Falcon and Ventura are gone.

    Got another batch set aside for Trades, Could 'sell' but I'm leaning more for trades (and would not mind trading 2+ towards one pen depending on the pen), listing here mainly because I'll consider monetary offers, but as I said would prefer to trade.

    I'm partial to Vintage, and would love to have something that has faceted sides, deco style trim/band, roller clip and a cushion or springy nib, but I'm open to most things.
    On the other end of the spectrum really drawn to things Japan-esque like maki-e work, urushi etc.

    But please, no offers of Lamy Safaris (unless it's the Bear Line from Korea... so freaking cute), Pilot Vanishing Points, Platinum Century 3776, Lamy 2000, or modern Yafa owned pens [modern conklin, monteverde, etc], I've tried owned/tried them before.

    (I do also have a Pilot Long Murex, October 1978 with a <F> nib http://pens.kbeezie.com/post/pilot-long-murex/ , but it'd have to be something significant for me to trade it off).

    Edit: What I currently own : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Wvgew3p5



    The Pens:

    Pilot Metal Falcon in Brown
    Excellent condition, 14K Soft Extra-Fine nib and comes with the Con-70 button filler and original box.
    Nice pen, but due to my exposure to some vintage flex I don't like pushing the nib nearly as much as some people show off, so I find myself using my vintage pens more for that purpose than the Falcon. The con-70 is nice and easy to fill with, but kind of a pain in the butt to flush (syringe involved in squirting water up into the little needle inside).

    Write Sample (Diamine Hope Pink) : http://i.imgur.com/ZitRbF9.jpg
    Another (Hope Pink on Environotes) : http://i.imgur.com/yWjZyNo.jpg

    Wahl-Eversharp Skyline Classic (Modern)
    Blue with Palladium Cap. Steel Ceramic-Coated Semi-Flex F~M nib (With spare nib unit, one you can probably send out for a grinding or made to different wetness).
    The 'semi-flex' on them requires a little bit more pressure than I like to use, not as firm as you'd expect of a Noodler's flex nib, but not as easy as most my vintage soft/semi-flex nibs.
    Original Box (very nice cushioned interior see pic here : http://i.imgur.com/WByeVTi.jpg ) with a sort of Piano black exterior.
    It is a cartridge/converter pen and includes the original converter. The Pen itself is not that old (little over a month old).

    I prefer my vintage skylines (though would be nice if I can get my hands on a vintage skyline [or nib] that does higher flex than the vintages I already have).

    Write Sample (Waterman South Seas Blue) : http://i.imgur.com/K5b3jSu.jpg
    And another : http://i.imgur.com/DOBYzqP.jpg

    Montblanc 221
    Black body with gold trim. 14K Fine nib, on the wet side with a nice springy feel to it (but not semi-flex). It's a cartridge/converter pen and includes the original Montblanc Converter (A pelikan branded converter also seems to fit). I think it's from the 1980s. I have a Montblanc 225 already with an XXF nib from the 70s. Very clean, but does have some usage marks on the plastic (light marks etc)

    Disassembled Shot when I First got it and cleaned it up: http://i.imgur.com/pP5KTTO.jpg
    Closer View after re-assembly: http://i.imgur.com/mhOX6ux.jpg

    Write Sample (Tsuki-yo) : http://i.imgur.com/3EeApzn.jpg

    Pelikan 20 Silvexa
    Cartridge pen (uses two standard international carts double-tapped [back to back]) The barrel can fit a standard converter, but I haven't found one (including a pelikan branded one) that fits firmly onto the nipple (I think it relies on the barrel pushing up on the cartridges or converter to create a firm fitting). Probably late 60s to 70s.
    The nib is a 14K Oblique Broad. The Ballpoint has several new Schneider 225M Express refills that I purchased from Germany.

    Write Sample (Waterman South Seas Blue) : http://i.imgur.com/tuxBazB.jpg

    Eversharp Slim Ventura Burp
    Made between 1953 and 1957. 14K Gold Filled Cap and Barrel, Maroon/Burgundy grip, 14K Firm F~M Nib (very smooth, rather wet), which can do XXF on the back side of the nib.
    It uses a aerometric filler (latex sac with a protector, unscrew the barrel and squeeze to fill), has a long breather tube installed helps with flow and full fill.
    Clip has a nice little springy action to it (sort of reminds me of the Lamy 2000's clip).

    Write Sample (Iroshizuku Syo-ro) : http://i.imgur.com/tpMt61M.jpg

    Astramatic Pencil and Pen Set
    No clue if it's gold-filled or not, the ballpoint has a dried out refill and I don't know what refill it takes. The pencil still works (twists out lead).

    The seeking list is in the pastebin link I linked above http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Wvgew3p5 And the first couple paragraphs in the post says.

    Preferring vintage, would prefer something that is not strictly short cartridge only if it's a c/c.
