This is an attempt to further reduce my collection for the incoming moving. All of these are good condition pens that write smoothly. A little bit here and there but hopefully you can find something you like.

First of all, three pens with Stub/CI nibs.
1. Pelikan m800, standard green color, M stub nib
Came to me as a stub and I only modified it slightly for better writing experience. The pen is in very good used condition. I have greased the piston and the nib is very pleasant with a hair of feedback. I really like the nib but the color just doesn't speak to me.
Asking $225 shipped USCON SOLD
2. Pelikan m205, yellow demonstrator, M CI nib
I ground this myself. Very pleasant writer with great line variation. There's some wear to the gold plating on the nib because of the grinding. Otherwise, the pen is near mint. Piston moves smoothly and minimal stain as I can see.
Asking $80 shipped USCON SOLD
3. Sheaffer Triumph Imperial, black, factory B~BB Italic nib
I believe this comes from the Triumph calligraphy set and the nib should be named as a broad italic. However, in today's standard, I think it's more like BB because the down stroke is about 1.2. Very smooth and great line variation. NOS condition and only dipped by me to do the writing sample. The plastic body is great for long writing sessions and you can get a Ranga 4cs if you want like bigger body.

Asking $55 shipped USCON, reduced to $50
Next are two semi-vintage Sailor pens
4. Sailor Magna, 14k F nib
Very good used condition and this takes the standard Sailor converter. 14k F nib is firm just like the today's 1911s but writes nicely with pleasant feedback. The pen measures 5 1/2 and feels much more comfortable than the standard 1911. I think this is a great value if you compared to the standard 1911.
Asking $45 shipped USCON SOLD
5. Sailor stainless steel fountain pen, 14k XXF/needle point nib
Good used condition with some wear on the chrome section ring below the nib and on the gold plating. I think this one takes the slim Sailor converter. Very interesting dagger shaped needle point grind, which gives a XXF line.
Asking $35 shipped USCON SOLD
Lastly, two affordable vintage pens
6. Parker Junior Duofold, 14k B nib
Restored condition with new sac. Fills and writes as intended and the nib is about B. Discoloration and some marks on the section. Priced accordingly I think.
Asking $30 shipped USCON SOLD
7. Eversharp Symphony, forest green, 14k nib
Near mint restored condition with new sac. Complete with box and the matching mechanical pencil. 14k nib is about F. The light weight makes it great for long writing sessions.
Asking $45 shipped USCON for the whole set. SOLD
Thanks for looking and because I'm expecting to move at the end of this week, I'll close this thread at that time. I'll consider reasonable offer and definitely let me know if you are interested in multiple because I can at least combine the sh Not because I think the prices are too low but I'll have to carry them with me anyhow and I'd like to rethink if I want to keep them. Thanks. :)
