2. Montblanc 146 SOLD, unmarked monotone 14k gold extra fine nib, piston filler, gold trim. The monotone nib and the lack of a serial number both date this to the 1980s. Piston and nib are as smooth as the day they left the factory. What else is there to say about this iconic fountain pen? Length capped is ~142.45mm, length uncapped is ~124.22mm. See writing sample below pen descriptions. $265 shipped SOLD, tracked, and insured to lower 48 via USPS Priority.
3. Aurora Optima, burgundy/red aurorolide, monotone white gold 14k medium nib, piston filler, white metal trim. This pen is a wet writer and has the characteristic Auora nib "traction" or "feedback" (it is not scratchy, but it grips the paper). Smooth piston. Length capped is ~126.75mm, length uncapped is ~123.04mm. Papers but not box. See writing sample below pen descriptions. $250 shipped, tracked, and insured to lower 48 via USPS Priority.

4. Stipula Passaporto, FPN LE #98/200, blue azurite resin, stainless steel 1.1 italic nib. Unused and new in box with papers, eyedropper, and cart.

5. Lamy Studio, blue, stainless steel fine nib. Converter and a handful of carts included. Some damage to the cap where the clip and cap meet, and priced accordingly. Otherwise in good shape. This is the older, brighter blue, not the newer Imperial Blue. Very lovely and smooth nib. $45 shipped, tracked, and insured to the lower 48 states via USPS Priority.
SOLD 6. Lamy Safari, french blue with red clip and red circle cap top, black stainless steel medium nib, new on bubble card with pouch and cart. Out of production color. Cannot be returned if opened, dipped, or inked. SOLD for $65 shipped, tracked, and insured to the lower 48 via USPS Priority. Cannot be returned if opened.
