Hello Fellow Geeks -

I have decided it's time to part ways with my Faceted Namiki VP. It's a great pen but I just don't find myself reaching for it, and am not enough into VPs to keep it for collectibility.

Hopefully my loss is your gain.

The pen has two cracks (pretty normal for these - priced appropriately for the condition) that have been stabilized. One you can hardly notice but it is there. Both of the photos of the cracks are under magnification and much harder to see with the naked eye.

Comes with original 14k Fine nib and CON-20 squeeze converter. If you are so inclined you can replace the 20 with a CON-40 but please note that CON-50s won't work in this pen.

I am looking for $215USD $190USD which includes shipping to CONUS. I am more than happy to ship international if you are willing to pay the difference in shipping.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hello,
Nice looking pen. I've never seen a "blacked out" version like that before. Can you tell me how the cracks were stabilized?
Regards,
James

You bet. A tiny bit of shellac applied to each with a small needle. Allowed the shellac to penetrate the crack without putting too much on the outside of the pen to clean up.
