Well, I was up half the night questing after this gorgeous pen. Atsu at cool-japan on ebay tells me he has them for sale at $269.00. I'm waiting to confirm this is the same pen posted above, but I believe it is. I have purchased from him in the past and he's reliable and a good communicator. You can reach him via this link: https://www.ebay.com/usr/cool-japan?ul_noapp=true

Atsu is a god-send when it comes to getting special request fountain pens and inks from within Japan. He's my favourite seller - polite, accommodating and reliable.

He does indeed have at least ONE left for sale. I know because I just bought the other one! :bounce:

Ok. So this is supposed to be a "Cocktail Series" pen. Does anyone know what cocktail it might be?

Isn't the pen named after the cocktail itself i.e. an Apres Ski, involving mix of green creme de menthe, vodka, lemonade & a few other bits & pieces? I've only had it once - definitely not my kind of drink :puke:Like the pen though :)

Yes, exactly so. I hunted the recipe down and may get the shaker out!

I really like that color. I did not need to see that! LOL. I love green pens, and green ink. I don't think there is such a thing as too much green.

Does..does it glow in the dark? :clap2:

Speaking for myself, as a lover of All Things Green, this is a luminous Creme De Menthe color. It does not glow in the dark, but it glows in broad daylight. And the clear end finial is the perfect touch.

I received my Apres Ski recently as well! It reminds me of jade. It's so lovely. Green isn't normally my color, but this one is really nice.
