None of the prices include shipping (in the US, $7 USPS Priority, $3 1st Class, depending on the pen), I am open to reasonable trade offers (I am not seeking Lamy Safaris, Al-Star, Vanishing Points, Al-Sports, Century 3776, or Modern Acrylic pens at this time, I tend to get offered those a lot and I don't have an interest in them).
I am mainly looking to downscale a little or to use the cash towards fewer pens for a more enriched collection (would love a Nakaya in tamenuri, but even if I sell the whole tray I'd probably still have to save up some).
The Pens :

1) Pelikan M805, Blue Striped, 2-tone 18K Broad ground to a Architect (aka Hebrew/Arabic) point. In excellent condition.

Asking $350/OBO
2) Pelikan P20 Silvexa (Standard International Cartridges, designed to work with two back-to-back, aka 'double-tapping'), with a 14K Broad nib, brushed metal body and cap. **The Nib Needs Work**, it will write if you help the ink along to the tip before writing, but it needs to be tuned by a nib professional to promote capillary action (so that it can bring the ink from the feed to the tip of the nib on it's own) I've done what I can for the nib, I have given the feed a cleaning with an ultrasonic bath when I got it, so the feed itself isn't an issue it seems.

Asking $15 ($10 if you get it with #3)
3) Pelikan P20 Silvexa Set (Standard International Cartridges, Designed to work with two back-to-back, aka 'double-tapping'). Black body with a brushed metal cap, and blue ink window, works well with a good flow. The nib is a 14K OB (Oblique Broad) which I'm not really used to writing with a slant to the left. The nib like the other Pelikan 20 pulls out the front where the hidden part of the nib is marked with the size (OB on this one, B on the other Silvexa), and the nib can be swapped on both #2 and #3 simply by sliding it out the front and sliding it back in.
The Ballpoint has four Schnieder Express 225M refills (one of them is installed), and the original dried out 137M refill is included for completeness.

Asking $65/OBO
4) Unbranded (No-Name) Black Chased Hard Rubber lever filling pen with a 14K Warranted nib, works, not the greatest looking nib in my opinion, it's untipped gold so could be reshaped pretty easily (but being untipped also means you can take off more gold quickly if you go to grind it).

Asking $40/OBO
5) Parker 51 Vacumatic, Cordovan Brown, "T7" + 2 Dots date code (1947 2nd Q, not sure what the "T" is for), 14K Fine Nib, Recently serviced.
Area surrounding the feed/collector is translucent. I polished the plastic shortly after I received it. This is my second attempt at liking a Parker 51 but like with many hooded nibs I find that I can't quite get used to it (the Lamy 2000 been the only hooded nib in a manner of speaking that I seem to like).
