Good morning,
So I had every intention to post this yesterday but go super busy (why the time stamp is a day off). I picked up this pen cause I always found it interesting and wanting to dip my toe into flex writing. While I have really enjoyed this pen and if it doesnt sell I have no problem keeping it in my collection, I just dont find flex writing that enjoyable. I have for the last week or so other than doing some flex'ish type stuff everyone once and a while just used it to write normally... which franking is very good too, it gives it a nice soft bouncy feel. I have another project I need to fund though so figured I would attempt to sell it, if it does not sell that is also fine I'll keep and enjoy it. Unlike some reports I havent had any real issues with railroading with this pen, if I push it "real" far it can or with some inks that are drier/bad surface tension it doesnt like them. It wills till write normally with those inks just want do any flexing, I have had no issue with 4 or 5 different Iroshizuku or Sailor inks, my Montblanc Irish Green it didnt like though.
I only have 2 pens that I can think of I'm interested in trading for. First would be a Franklin-Christoph Model 19 "1901", my preferred color would be the Smoke and Cinnamarron, then Black & Smoke or Black & Cherry Ice (I'm not interested in the black & cream or gold versions), if you have another version I might not be aware of shoot me some pictures and we can chat. Second pen would be a Pilot Custom 823, I would prefer the clear but ok with the smoke or amber.
Here are the photos I took yesterday (though I forgot to take one with the original box, which is included) let me know if you would like any other photos or PM me if you have any questions or want to chat. Looking for $140 + shipping (should be $5.95 conus). I will also include a sample or two of Irosizuku inks.
