All SOLD within 3 days! Amazing!

Please check later postings as I will prepare some more from the last spare parts of this large lot of pens that were left over.
These will be good pens, but will have some variations in model
and sometimes I will use parts from other sources or even newly made parts.
They will be presented separately each with their individual specifications, pictures and writing samples..
Soon here on the For Sale section.



Dear Fountain Pen Friends,

It's been a while since I posted these pens for sale. I needed some time to restore and prepare the last amount of these wonderful pens for sale, make them complete and ready to write. These are the last 8 complete new old stock 1935 German pens of the large lot I acquired about one year ago. Many pens already went to a lot of happy users all over the world. Here is your last chance to get one or have one more if you have one already.

During the project of restoring these forgotten pens, many pieces got lost because one or more of the parts were unusable, broke or otherwise damaged.
After this batch will be sold I will work on an extra project in which I will try to combine the left spare parts that still can be used into usable complete writers. That implies that not all these pens will exactly be the same, some may be built up from parts of different model variations, some parts will be taken from other repair stock and some parts will even be newly made to get them working. But I will try to keep them as original as possible.

But first these 8 pens that are completely rebuilt with all original parts.
Even the dried out cork seals were refurbished by heating them and sealing them again with bees wax impregnation.

For those who never saw these pens before, here are the specifications again, and below you will find some new pictures of the actual 8 pens for sale here.

Made in Germany
Manufactured around 1935.
No name or brand on the pens. Nibs branded 'Edel'

Material:
Barrel & Cap: Black chased Thermoplastic.
Top and blind end cap: Bakelite.
Section and feeder: Ebonite
Piston mechanism parts: Black plastic and cork seal.
Clip: gold color plated brass. (Plating material unknown, but probably not gold).
Filling system: piston (refurbished original corks). The pen has a blind cap to cover the filling knob.
Nib: Steel; remarkably flexible. The nib is stamped: 'Edel - Chromstahl - 1 Qual'
Flex runs from F/M to BBB (Differs a bit for each pen, all nibs have a slightly different character).
All pens come with an individual test writing sample.
Manufactured supposedly around 1935, never used (New old stock) and completely restored and rebuilt by me.

Dimensions: (small differences can occur as the pens were practically made by hand):
Closed: 134 mm
Without cap: 124 mm
Posted: 170 mm
Diam. over barrel: 11.85 mm
Diam over the cap: 13.36 mm

Due to changes in the Dollar/Euro rating and higher shipping ratings by Dutch TNT post, the price is a little bit higher than in earlier batches.
I do not make much profit on these pens and I cannot afford to loose on them, so sorry.


If you would like to buy one, do not wait too long.
The earlier batches sold out very fast.
These are the last ones and they will never again come back on the market,
unless someone offers one of these pens I originally did for sale again.

Asking us $ 25,-- each.
Shipping us$ 7,-- for 1 or 2 pens.
Shipped World wide from The Netherlands
(standard priority letter mail, no insurance, no registry, no T&T).

I got 2 of the last batch and I like them a lot. I think the price is really good for a cool, offbeat kind of German pen.

If these remotely appeal to anybody, jump on em now.

Got 2 from the last batch too. Flex is great on these pens and the pens are a pleasure to write with.

Lexaf is a great seller

@Mesu
Thank you for your nice feedback.

The pens are going like a train! Already 3 sold and 5 on hold pending payment, so this batch is actually sold out already within 24 hours.
Thank you all for your confidence in me!

Read the statement I edited in the OP of this ad for more pens...

I'm a happy man and I hope the new users of my pens will be too when they receive their pens!

I snagged one, too. Very excited to get my hands on it. Shipping to the US from the Netherlands is probably going to take a while with customs and all that... They sound worth the wait, though!

I was lucky to get one from the very first batch back in 2013.
However I did miss out on a batch with a flat top design. Do you have any more of that model?

I jumped on the band wagon to try out the flex nib at a good starter price.

Got the email, payment sent, now the wait begins. .

For what it is worth I ordered this pen last time and received it in about 7 days - I am on the east coast USA. I thought that was very reasonable. Of course YMMV.

Hope I get just as lucky. But stuff usually delays in NYC awaiting customs. And with the bad weather even worse. .
