Looking to reduce my collection from 10 to 4, hoping these pens that didn't make the cut can find new homes where they will be used.
Caran d'Ache Léman Album (https://imgur.com/a/Ewd3nzH)
Caran d'Ache Léman Fountain Pen - 18k Medium - $400
Caran d'Ache Léman Rollerball - $275
Caran d'Ache Léman Ballpoint Pen - $200
Each of these three pens has been used once by me, the original owner. They are in pristine condition, indistinguishable from brand new. They will come with all of their original packaging and paperwork. The fountain pen accepts international standard carts / converters and includes the CdA branded converter it came with. The ballpoint takes the Caran d'Ache Goliath refill but also accepts Parker style refills without modification. The rollerball takes standard rollerball refills (the Schmidt 888 format, etc.). The 18k Medium nib on the fountain pen is smooth and perfect. The fountain pen and rollerball feature 3/4 turn screw caps that seal incredibly well. I'm selling these at a significant loss simply because I haven't used them in the year I've owned them. As nice as they are, I find myself reaching for others every time.
Buy all three Caran d'Ache pens for $800 shipped and I'll include the red three slot Van der Spek case (https://imgur.com/a/WMDDD7c) I bought to go with them for free.
Case is brand new, italian leather, and starts at 49€ direct from Van der Spek with 19€ shipping and a five week wait.

Diplomat Excellence A Plus Fountain Pen - 14k .7mm stub by Mark Bacas - $300
Diplomat Excellence A Plus Rollerball - $175
Diplomat Excellence A Plus Ballpoint - $80
The Diplomat Excellence line was revamped in 2018, removing most of the finishes from the A Plus line and introducing the new A2 line, making these pens no longer available for purchase new. The quarter turn screw caps and spring clips on these pens are fantastic, and an unfortunate removal from the newer A2 models. Like the Caran d'Ache pens above I am the original owner of these pens and have used them gently. Also in pristine condition without any cosmetic or mechanical defect of any sort. Will include all original packaging and paperwork for all pens. The ballpoint takes Parker style refills. The fountain pen features a 14k broad stub by Mark Bacas (the video Mark makes can be provided to the buyer). The rollerball takes international standard rollerball refills. The fountain pen includes the Diplomat branded converter, and takes international standard long/short cartridges.
Buy all three Diplomat pens for $500 and I'll include the black three slot Van der Spek case (https://imgur.com/a/TiLYa7h) I bought to go with them for free.
Case is brand new, italian leather, and starts at 49€ direct from Van der Spek with 19€ shipping and a five week wait.
