Hello fellow fountain pen enthusiasts from the sunny (and frankly way too hot) Bucharest. Name's Andrei, I'm a surgeon and a fountain pen nut, currently battling my urges to keep each and every pen in my collection. Reality though sets in and takes over so there will be a couple of listings in the near future.
Been here for over a year and finally decided to introduce myself on the brink of summer cleaning.

Cheers and enjoy your summer

Well at the moment I'm one of the lucky ones to actually have their grail pen - in my case the Visconti WallStreet Green Celluloid - instantly fell in love with it and finally got the chance to get one. It also became my main pen, constantly inked.

Just to name a few others:

- Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Oversize (B)
- Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Midi (M) - now that I have the oversize version I'll be listing it soon enough (the oversize just fits my Brian Goulet-size hands better)
- Visconti Midnight Voyager (18k M) - I'll be listing this one as well
- Visconti Rembrandt Blue (B and sometimes the 14k Sailor Music nib - see Pen Photos)
- Delta Dolcevita Oversize Red (huge #8 14k M)
- Sailor ProGear Slim SKY (special edition) (14k MS)
- Pilot Custom 74 Smoke (M)
- Tombow Zoom101 Carbon Fiber (M)
- Italix Parson's Essential Piano Black with a custom ground RH Oblique Italic M
- Edison Collier Silver Marble (M and 1.1) - simply adore this pen
- Noodler's Konrad Baikal, Neponset Baikal, Ahab Navajo, Ahab Demonstrator, Nib Creaper Demonstrator
- Monteverde Impressa Gunmetal Red (M and B)
- Twsbi Vac700 Demonstrator (B)
- Twsbi 580 AL Demonstrator (1.1 and M)

and many more.

A while back I cleaned my collection and sold most of my classic pens - Conway Stewart (Dinkie and Duro), Waterman Ideal, a couple of MB 254 and 244, a Conklin Crescent, etc... it was a shame for them to be sitting in a drawer somewhere and not be used so I found them new homes.
