Pen porn!

Sorry, are you selling the pen? I just see photos. Thanks.

Yes thank you for letting me know. That's very odd. It disappeared.

[zaddick]

Thanks for fixing. I thought maybe I was going bananas again. It is Friday after all.

Yes, a very rare nib and a beautiful pen. I wish I had more finds for it. Good luck with the sale.

OBB I get, but D?

OBB I get, but D?

Probably "Destra" for Right in italian.

[fpnut]

True. It is.

Probably "Destra" for Right in italian.

Yes I believe that is correct.

[zaddick]

Yes, a double broad, right foot oblique in English. Not a popular nib option when Omas was in business which I think is why Manu had some left. It is a cool nib though. I hope no one regrinds it to a BB.

I agree. That's one of the reasons why I am selling it. It doesn't fit my writing style well and I don't feel right about grinding it down. I could get another nib, but I thought I'd put it up for sale first.

[fpnut]

I'm one of the ones that would not grind it. That said, even though the nib is perfect for me, the pen is beyond me. Beautiful, though.

[mandrbeck]

How about $1400

[fpnut]

Would you please post an uncapped shot and one up close with the nib? Thank you.

I added a couple pics from my phone. I'll try to get a nib close up later.

[mandrbeck]

Im just going to drop the price to my bottom line. Price is firm. $1300 shipped CONUS. International at cost.

[mandrbeck]

Nib shots added.

Best of Luck with the sale Paul!

[MCWB]

Wow, it's like the spina di pesce on the body and regular arco pattern on the cap. Remarkable! This will be a piece that raises a lot of attention in years to come. Way out of my league, but good luck with the sale!

[mandrbeck]

I'll do one final drop to $1265. I'll lose a little money, but I ordered a replacement Arco, so I'd like to move this one along. I'm getting a lot of interest on eBay at a higher price, but I prefer to sell on here. Let me know if you want it before it sells on eBay.

Pen is sold.
