Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Up for your considerations today are three very different pens but they are all in very good used condition and write well. I think I've priced them reasonably with great values, probably even good deals but also open to reasonable offers.

1. Visconti Van Gogh Midi, gold trim
This is the old style Van Gogh without the faceted body with a steel nib. The pen has gold trim as opposed to chrome trims. The F steel nib is ground into a fine CI/Stub nib and is definitely more interesting than what it was. The nib has decent amount of line variation and writes nicely. Please refer to the writing sample. Comes with the threaded Visconti converter.
Asking $80, reduced to $75 shipped USCON
2. Namiki Faceted Vanishing Point, black
Old style, out of production Namiki vanishing point with a plastic faceted body. If you feel the modern metal ones are too heavy, this might be a good choice for you. The faceted body is also nice to look at. The pen has a 14k Namiki M nib, which writes quite nicely as one would imagine. Comes with both the Pilot converter and the metal cartridge shell.
Asking $170, reduced to $165 shipped USCON
3. ST Dupont Fidelio, blue
This is quite a handsome pen with an elegantly tapered body and beautiful lacquer work. The pen has a 14k MH nib which writes smoothly and lays down a true western M line. A simple but well built pen. The snap cap feels very good and the section threads into the body smoothly. Overall I'm very impressed but unfortunately it's a little small for my hand. Comes with the ST Dupont converter.
Asking $130 shipped USCON, SOLD
Again, hope everyone enjoy the rest of the Thanksgiving weekend as well as the good deals you find. Reasonable offers are welcomed and let me know if you have any question. Thanks for looking. :)
