Now that I am an unemployed grad student for the summer, it's time to get some of the Esties I'd repaired out into the world!

This is one Blue J with a 9048 flexible fine nib. I replaced both the j bar and sac and the pen is working great! The nib gives nice line variation, but I wouldn't say it's super-flexy. It is definitely fun to write with though.

I should note that there is some slight discoloration on the barrel. There is a little bit of the barrel that is looks gray, and I can't tell whether or not it's from the manufacturing process or not. Other than that, the pen has almost zero wear on it.

This particular one was "Made in England".

$45.00
$3.00 for First Class Mail, $5.00 for Priority - either way, the pen will be well packed in a box.

Shipping from Western Massachusetts. I would prefer to ship to the US. If you're international, and interested, PM me and I'll get you a quote.

Thanks for looking!
