Hello everyone,
I am downsizing my collection a little bit to facilitate a purchase for one of my other passions. The pens up for sale today are:
1) SOLD Pelikan M805 Stresemann (18k Fine nib): This was my first "fancy pen" that I bought getting into this hobby. It writes very well; smooth, wet and consistent. This nib offers great shading in inks as can be seen in the writing sample. Cosmetically very good, having been kept in a pen pouch every time it was taken out of the house, never dropped and never mistreated. There are some microscratches that are quite faint and can only be seen in the right light on the cap where I had it in a Franklin Christoph leather case for a couple days before switching to a pelikan leather (the Franklin one pen doesn't have a pen loop inside it, so the pen was rattling around inside it, not cool). Asking $300 SOLD

2) Visconti Van Gogh Starry Night (Steel Medium nib): This pen is a C/C filler, and includes the provided Visconti converter. Great pen, writes well, but slightly too small for my hands so I am letting it go. The pattern on the pen is beautiful, and cosmetically wonderful. It has a really nice spring loaded clip with strong retention and a magnetic snap cap. Asking $175

3) SOLD Montblanc 149 (18k Fine/Medium tri tone nib with solid ebonite feed): Acquired this pen recently from another member, and it writes very well. Smooth (some feedback on the horizontal stroke), wet, and excellent line variation. It is one of the softest 149 nibs I've used (granted I've only used about 4...), and puts down a line that is on the border of Fine and Medium. Not quite a fine, but too narrow to be a medium. The ink window is clear, and the piston is lubricated. Functionally excellent. The downside is the cosmetic condition. It's an old pen and shows it. There are microscratches all over the body and cap, though nothing deep. There is also one "dent?" in the resin on the body just under the ink window which I tried to capture in a picture. The beauty of this pen is the nib and the feed, especially the feed. Asking $275. SOLD (The value of the nib and feed alone is this price, but you get the whole pen!)

All pens include free priority shipping to the CONUS, but international will be at cost to the buyer. If you want tracked international, fair warning, it is quite expensive. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thanks y'all!
