My next pen will be an Edison Herald Grande in red ripple ebonite with a Binder extra fine flex nib. Whenever money falls out of the sky and into my wallet.

I set aside € 50 in PayPal to order some stuff from China so I should be able to get 6 or 7 pens, Baoer 79, Hero 7022, Jinhao 159, X750 & X450 are already on the list, with a some converters and IPG nibs and feeds to salvage some older Chinese pens that are already in the "to cure" box.
For the serious pens, eyeing a Sailor Procolor or a 1911 and a KaWeCo Dia2, Student or alrounder, need to check those out as they share the nibs and some other properties but with a big price difference. A Visconti Rembrandt blue is on the Christmas shopping list :whip:

Will hopefully be purchasing the following soon...
Franklin-Christoph 65 - I can't decide which nib I want, there's too many to choose from
Sailor Pro Gear or 1911 Mid-size
Pilot Custom Heritage 91 in Yama Budo

On my if-I-find-a-good-deal wishlist
Parker 51s in Cocoa, Eggshell & Burgundy


And on my if-I-win-the-lottery wishlist
Nakaya Piccolo Negoro Nanohana-iro (http://www.nibs.com/nakaya-cigar-piccolo-negoro-nanohana-iro.html) or Nuno kise Hon Kataji (http://www.nibs.com/nakaya-cigar-piccolo-negoro-nuno-kise-hon-kataji.html)

It's down to one more Waterman and one more Swan now. Since I'm primarily a nib chaser there are a few options as far as the models go, but they'll be pre-1930 hard rubber pens.

Hi

For me it would be a Pelikan M800 or M1000 and a Parker Duofold big red.

It will be some time before I can afford any of them though.

How much time to you have? :typing:

I'm still so new to FPs that I still have a VERY long wishlist. Here are a few highlights.

Vintage:
* Waterman Ideal 7 with Pink or Black Nib...but they're pretty tough to find.
* Something with a Flex Music Nib

Modern:
* Visconti Opera Elements in Blue
* Nakaya Decapod Twist (not sure the finish I want yet...probably the green/brown)
* A Pelikan (I don't have any of the brand yet.) -- Probably an M800 or M1000
* Omas Vintage Paragon Burlwood Celluloid
* Montegrappa Privilege Deco
* Franklin-Christoph Model 19
* Yard-o-led Viceroy Grand in the Barley Finish
* Pilot Custom 92
* Pilot Custom 823
* Lamy 2000
* Otto Hutt Design 04 Square Guilloche
* Edison Collier (Persimmon Swirl, I think...either that or a custom jobbie)
* Dupont Defi Titanium or Grille

* And I would REALLY like my new Conway Stewart Wellington LE with the fine italic nib to get back from the nibmeister so I can use it for the first time!

Of course, this is all subject to change at any moment. *OOH. SHINY!*

1. Nakaya decapod twist
2. Sailor Pro Gear Imperial Black
3. Pelikan Place de la Concorde (just missed one on eBay)

What I really want is easily available medium/fine stub nibs. I could happily live with inexpensive pens if I had these.

2. Monteverde not sure which model
3. Lamy Safari Yellow

Good luck with your replacements!

I'm pondering getting a TWSBI. Possibly a 700 vac, with the travelling ink pot.

Having acquired the Homosapiens and the CS Winston making it's way through the British postal service. I'm taking a (brief) hiatus from buying.

When this is over, however, I have my eyes on a TWSBI Micarta and one of InvisibleMan's (http://fpgeeks.com/forum/member.php/2025-InvisibleMan) amazing custom pens.
