What Pens(s) Are You Waiting For?

[Cob]

I've been buying again - and done a bit of unprofitable selling too (ha ha me? a geek...)

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this one (picture credit acknowledged)

Waiting for a 1930's Waterman Persian 94, maybe arriving within a few days.
And a n.o.s. 1935 German piston filler from our member which is shipping from Netherlands.

[VertOlive]

3 Incoming:

A screaming yellow "Poky Pen" medium point from Chinasomeplace

A Levenger True Writer in Red Pearl with Broad nib from FPN classifieds [USA]

A Delta Ivory Passion in Medium nib from FPN classifeds [Italy]

An Orange Stipula Speed in 0.9mm nib from Speerbob [50% off!]

[Tsuki yo]

From the Anderson's:
A Stipula Passaporto .9mm
A Libelle Siena M nib I think
A 6mm Pilot Parallel

From Ebay:
NOS Parker 25 Flighter F nib with Black accents (nabbed it for less than 40 bucks, too!)

From Fountain Pen Revolution:
A fistful of Serwex that I won from a Facebook giveaway.

About three weeks ago I had said the words "No more pens for a while" to my husband, and he agreed... Woops.

I just checked out the Anderson's page and the Stipula with the 9mm stub isn't even on there any more, I must have bought the last one, which would explain the price. :)

I hopped on Speerbob's offer as well and bought one in red for my sister. I don't know what to expect.

Another project on the way; something pretty to look forward to: this unidentified model from Macniven and Cameron - bought "for restoration":

[Sandy Fry]

Could not resist ordering another 2 Pilot MR's from Staples...the gold one and the White Tiger...great deal that ends soon.

[Mags]

I am waiting on a NOS Targa from Anderson Pens. I love the Targa pens.

[Cob]

Well I sold three pens today, all at a considerable loss as usual - not counting the work I put into them, nor the ebay and Paypal fees. There was a very respectable Swan 6260 in good order went for £16.50...

Never mind, more on the way, two more Swans, one another colourful project; seller says is a M2 whatever that is; has a No2 nib anyway, no clip, no lever...:

12393

And the other one I have wanted for a long time, apparently it needs a nib, still what's a nib eh?

Ha ha... (mad):roll:

This.... with a cursive italic broad nib, John Mottishaw style :bump2:

[Takai]

As of now I am waiting on a Parker Rialto as the upgrade to my Vector, and my first Waterman, an Apostrophe, both with F nibs for journal writing. As well as a couple of pen pouches which should be riding along with them. Unfortunately it is all coming from the Netherlands, which means it shall be a while longer, but one can only hope it will be this week that I receive them.

[Ian]

I'm waiting on a green Pelikan M1000 and a gun metal grey Pilot Vanishing Point. I'm really looking forward to both of them for different reasons. I think the Pelikan will be a letter writing pen for home and the Vanishing Point will go everywhere with me.

[Sandy Fry]

Waiting on a couple of Jinhao 599's....paid a total of $3.79 shipped. I am interested so see just how similar they really are to the Lamy Safari.

I have the exact same VP but with an EF nib, such a sexy pen.

[mtnbiker62]

These two:

[tandaina]

There is a pen in the mail made by a forum member, nib ground by a forum member. Expected delivery tomorrow and I am just about sitting on top of the mailbox waiting....

[tarheel1]

Ordered a pilot 912 with a fa nib. Shipped out this morning.

[vikramguliya]

Actually I was waiting for a ELEGANCE but I got it delivered yesterday!!

[RuiFromUK]

Nemosine Singularity Demonstrator 0.8mm stub nib

[Alex2014]

These two ones (and maybe others soon):

[HeresyHammer]

According to UPS tracking, my new (new to me) Yard-O-Led Viceroy Barley pen will be delivered on Monday. I've been looking at YOL pens for quite some time and when a pre-2000 one came available, I snatched it up. The main reason, besides the price, was because I like the two-tone nib of the previous style. Today, the nibs are all all 18K gold as well, but fully plated with nickel, I believe. Although, I do prefer the new style sterling silver grip section of today's pens, the price and the two-tone nib won the day. Who knows? After some time with this pen, I may be off to find a Victorian Grand.

(NB: Not the exact pen I purchased: Picture taken from FPN review (http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/210325-yard-o-led-viceroy-standard-barley-old-style/) by Hari317)
His review has wonderful pictures and a great commentary: Check it out.

[littletim]

Waiting for a Pelikan M800. My most expensive to date and hopefully my last for a long time.

[HeresyHammer]

Waiting for a Pelikan M800. My most expensive to date and hopefully my last for a long time.

The M800 is on my wish list but there are a couple others that are first in line. I can't remember who said it, but from what I hear, the m800 is for some the "perfect pen." I have a late 80's W. Germany Pelikan 400 and aside from the smaller size, it writes like a dream. Springy nib, decent line variation, and after almost 30 years old, it still sings at times. You made a great choice and I hope you enjoy every writing moment from you new Pelikan m800.

As a recommendation, I always enjoy Diamine Sherwood Green in my Pelikan. Dark enough for business; green enough to be different ;)

[Cob]

Once again into the breach - I have several on the way, but my tongue is hanging out for this one. I found it in the usual place whilst looking for something else, and was bowled over by its beauty:

Rgds to all,

[Jon Szanto]

Like Cob, I have a few on the way, and a few that have landed recently. Once the dust is settled, I'm going to do a photo session and present all my new friends at once. However, just today I happened to see one that I immediately jumped on. Not an absolute beauty but a very interesting pen: this is one of the examples of Sheaffer Wasp pens in a pattern that has been nicknamed "Screaming Souls in Purgatory" (or "Screamers" for short). This variant has been brought to light, both on his forum and in the Pennant magazine, by David Issacson, and you can see a good start on this over on FPB (http://fountainpenboard.com/forum/index.php?/topic/946-sheaffer-wasp-screamer-mania-yeah-really/).

Jon, thanks for the link. The 'Screamers' look fascinating - the green version akin to the insides of some hellish tropical fruit.

[RuiFromUK]

Let's see if I do not miss any :)

1. Nemosine Singularity
2. A lot of 3 pens: Blackbird, Jackdaw and another hard rubber lever pen
3. Swan 3130

That should be enough for this week, but who knows...

[oldstoat]

A little carmine Sheaffer Balance Junior
I hope it's as sweet to write with as the silver-gray Balance Junior I already have

[Cob]

A Blackbird, allegedly with Parker nib, an ancient eye-dropper and quite a rare bird, a Jewel.
Oh yes and an Ormiston and Glass pen holder from, I suppose, the year Dot!

Rgds,
Cob

[Avalona]

Two Platinum Preppies, one blue, one pink (because I like that pink and once I use up the cartridge, I can easily switch to my peachy-pink highlighter ink). Just as spares for uni. Those will be less painful to lose than my other pens.

[Silverbreeze]

I await my Pendleton Brown Rosetta with BLS :-) might be here Monday :-)

[discopig]

ItaliFine 0.9mm CI/Fine nib unit for Pilot VP.

[LagNut]

A red Duofold, fine nib. For some reason, I'm on a Parker binge.

[snedwos]

Edison Nouveau Summer Edition in Medium. Pulled the trigger after finding out that, due to the Grays' holiday, there is no way he'll be able to make my custom dream pen in time to get it to me before I leave the US (probably for good). I'll also peruse his table at DC, see if anything catches my eye, and get the custom pen at some point in the future.

Thrown in some turquoise samples too.

[Bogon07]

Still waiting on a Bexley & a Delta :lazy2:

[Austin_Malone]

Parker Vacumatic.

[Cob]

I've been reckless again today, so now I am waiting for three very attractive Canadian Waterman's Ideal pens - all without clips but bought for the sort of money that makes the lovely (usually) nibs a good deal. And then yet another very cheap Mabie Todd Blackbird; funnily enough this one has no clip and I suspect that the nib is bent - ha ha ha...

Bonkers.

Cob

[HeresyHammer]

For me, none currently. All pens are present and accounted for. I just received from the mail today my last and final purchase for the time being. A 1920's Parker Jack-Knife that Murfie sold here on FPgeeks. He wan't kidding when he mentioned it was NOS. I looks like I just drove my Tin Lizzy down to the stationary store and picked it up today from the shoppe keep. My wallet needs to rest for a while and prepare itself for the DC Pen Show... only 25 days away.

[snedwos]

Jinhao 3000 Tiger in black. It came up and I almost bought it immediately. Then I stopped myself and googled. Stephen Brown seemed to like his red one, so here it comes.

[Cob]

Missed out on a dream pen today (it's a secret because another one has appeared) but I have to wait...

Meanwhile in addition to the Blackbird and three Waterman's, there's now a black and rather elegant-looking Conway Stewart 85.

[HeresyHammer]

Dr. Brown is a powerful influence. There are several of my pens that were purchased from a second window in my browser while listening to his review. Thank God his powers are for good. I couldn't live in the world if he he turned his powers toward ballpoints and rollerballs.... Must have Parson's Essential.... Must have Delta Dolcevita.... Must have Pelikan M1000........ wait, what? Where am I? Who did I..? I'll be right back.... I gotta... check... on something...

[jokeruk]

Ordered myself a Pilot MR (Metropolitan for those on the other side of the pond) White Tiger today. Along with a converter, bottle of Cult Pens Deep Dark Orange and an A5 Rhodia dot grid pad - hopefully it'll all come tomorrow :)

[RuiFromUK]

A change for at least once, I promise that at this same moment I am not waiting for any pen! :confused:

If my wife hears this she will definitely be surprised. :)

[RayCornett]

This week I am expecting an Eversharp Skyline in honey color from Sean Nicholson. I can't wait!

Also just found out I won a PIF for a MonteVerde Artista Crystal in Turquoise.

[Jon Szanto]

Only waiting on one pen, a green Esterbrook Dollar with a 2048 "shaded" fine nib. I've had a goodly number of pens roll in in the last few weeks, but I'm putting everything on hold for now, as I'm going to be on the hunt at the SF Pen Show in about 3 weeks. This could be disastrous.

Well, in a good way.

I will hopefully have time later in the week to make a catch-up post in the "what pen have you gotten thread" with the recent arrivals. Some fun pens...

[velo]

Expecting my newly ordered Lamy 2000 (medium) in tomorrow!

Nice I love mine. Such geekness just from putting the cap back on.

[Silverbreeze]

I placed an order for a Beaumont PN in Black Ice since I can't make it to DC this year

[scrivelry]

A handful of pens off the auction site - nothing too special, except the MOP nib holder, but does include two Sheaffer student pens and two mechanical pencils from the 70's, and very good price on the whole business so I am feeling happy!

[scrivelry]

I should be more embarrassed about posting two in a row, especially since I counted some of my pens tonight... but I seem to be shameless. I am now waiting for a purple Rosetta Napoleon and an Ahab demonstrator from a fellow Geek... Very excited, I have wanted a Napoleon for about six months...

[elyk864]

I'm waiting on "The Bolt G2" from Karas Kustoms, in the aluminum finish.

[velo]

I've been contemplating one for ages. Report back it would be interesting to hear about the weight and balance of it.

[elyk864]

Will do.

[Cob]

Humm,

Still waiting for three old Waterman's pens, plus a Pitman's College pen, a "JIF" from France (a sort of Waterman's I think) two Swans (L445/60 and SM2), and a Wyvern pencil.

I'm a lost cause I fear.

[jadehawk]

I have a Lamy Safari in "pink" for the wife as she has shown interest in FP after using mine. I figure she will love her own pen..

[scrivelry]

A clutch of vintage pens in purdy celluloids- two look like they might have interesting nibs, the other nibs also look more or less ok from what I can see.

I really have to order some j-bars, long pressure bars for button fillers, and some sacs. I must not buy more pens till I do the simple fixes. I must not buy more pens till I do the simple fixes. I must not buy more pens till I do the simple fixes. I must not...

If she is like Mrs Bogon she will love her own pens but will still love using your ones too.

[Kaputnik]

Nothing new, I really want to put a stop to that for a while. But I just sent out a Parker 51 Vacumatic for some surgery to a well known repairman, and expect to have his estimate next week. He's one of the best, but not necessarily one of the cheapest, funny how that works. :) Anyway, for the same money I could probably get a decent TWSBI, two or three more Esterbrooks, or something else reliable and pretty good. I don't want more pens at the moment, though. Just want to fix a few issues with the ones that I have.

[GING GING]

I ordered the Visconti Pinifarina lastnight with medium nib. I should have it on Tuesday.

Is it steel, gold or Pd?

[GING GING]

Steel. I think it's called Chromium, but I'm not sure. I also think it's the same nib as on the Opera crystal. That one is called the dream touch nib. Calling a steel nib some fancy name is probably a good way of getting Pen Geeks to part with their money. Notice, I left out the word FOOL.

[RuiFromUK]

Lamy 2000 with a OBB nib

[RuiFromUK]

Is it steel, gold or Pd?

Chromium 18 Smartouch tubular (EF-F-M-B-ST)

[Silverbreeze]

Wow, how cool is that. So, are they fixin to release a piston filler sport. I gotta get one, or 3.

[Fawkes]

It was made from 1974 to 1985 so I don't think its considered vintage, maybe just old. But I think its beautiful in its simplicity and stark lines. Here's a pic from the seller, I'll add my own when I get it.

Finally broke down and bought it this morning.. Pilot Metal Falcon in Burgundy with Extra Fine Nib (stock picture will add mine once I get it) with Amazon gift card (signing up to the credit card) and sellers discount.. I got this puppy for $149.99 [emoji7]

[GING GING]

The metal falcon in burgundy looks good. Does it feel alittle heavier than the plastic falcon?

[Silverbreeze]

It is noticeable but not too bad. Well worth the ability to use a Con-70 to me

What kind of Lamy is that?

Its an old LAMY designed by their own staff and it seems to be the spiritual successor to their 27/30n models, and it also draws some similarities to the 2000. It has a redesigned 2000 clip, uses basically the same piston unit as the 2000 and makes use of Makrolon for the material, albeit in a plain finish versus the 2000's grained finish. The feed is engineered similarly to the 2000's in that it is a shell for a huge ink collector. It combines to the technical advantages of a hooded, but with the beautiful appearance of a huge open nib.

I hope that helps.

I should have it in a few days and I can do a review on it if there is enough interest.

[Quantum Sailor]

I'm waiting on a black Esterbrook that looks good but apparently doesn't work and a Salz Bros (?) eyedropper that again is supposed to look good but apparently doesn't work. I decided I want to see if I can learn how to do some restoration. I've rebuild cars and used to be a motorcycle mechanic so I figure that pens can't be impossible for me lol......

I somehow have a little voice saying famous last words after that last bit.

Waterman 52's are usually great pens, I love mine.

It's arrived and I've been playing around with it with some Iroshizuku shin-kai, and I am absolutely IN LOVE. The nib does need some tuning, but the feed and flex just blow me away.

Namiki falcon 11 in burgandy

[RayCornett]

I believe I mentioned it but I won a PIF for a MonteVerde Artista Crystal demonstrator in turquoise. It had the wrong converter but MV is sending the correct one. Oddly enough the customer service rep and I are distant cousins :)

Also on the way are 5 Parker 45's with F and EF nibs from someone clearing out their collection of pens they do not use and they seriously dislike EF/F nibs.

Then,,,,I also had to spend $5 on Jinhao 500 in Elegant coffee. I am a coffee freak and it's a really good looking pen!

And last I am polishing a couple pens for someone in exchange for an awesome third tier Victapen pen and pencil set which I fell in love with as soon as I saw it.

So by tomorrow I should have 6 new to me pens for my collection. Once the Jinhao arrives that should take me to the 40 pen mark. Not bad considering I only started around December.

[stonerman33]

Got my tracking number today for the burgundy pilot metal falcon SF. In the week I waited for the retailer to get it back in stock, I tacked on a Lamy vista EF for a beater pen at work.

[scrivelry]

I'm waiting for two Jinhaos with Goulet nibs, one old seriously sad looking gold fill no name splendor and.... almost my Grail oen... an old Sheaffer in gold with engraved flowers, etc!!!

It does have some issues - needs a lever and obviously if it needs a lever there is probably a missing pressure bar of whatever sort and a petrified or absent sac, but so long as I manage to get the little darling apart, I should be able to fix those issues. It has a pin on the side of the cap as well as the ring for a lace to wear around the neck - I have no idea why the pin, I have never seen one before and am already trying to figure out the best thing to put on the pointy end so it does not end up stabbing moi-self, and I wonder if it was an after-market modification for a woman who did not like things hanging around her neck but wanted her pen handy. Has anyone else ever seen a pen with a pin on the cap???

Two Swans - a SM2 and a L330/64 and yet another Parker Duofold - I shall then have five of them - and I ask myself "why?" Actually I am rather keen on one of them - it has a delightful nib very much to my taste, stubbish and flexible.

Still I console myself with the thought that I do sell pens too!

My friend/punk/enabler Fredric posted about a deal on the Levenger L-Tech Plus (Fountain Pen with Stylus). Normally $89, was on sale for $48.95, today (Labor Day) an additional savings at checkout brings it down to $37.10 (before shipping). If it feels nice, looks like a perfect EDC in my bag with a recent Parker Jotter in SS. Check here (http://www.levenger.com/Pens---Refills-8/Shop-By-Brand-34/Levenger-275/L-Tech-Plus-Fountain-Pen-with-Stylus-12642.aspx) if interested in the deal.

I've bought a Fiorenza in a cracked ice pattern to replace one of my Rembrandts that used to be a work pen and has now been promoted to journal duty. It looks like an interesting pattern but I can't find much about the brand anywhere, so it'll be interesting to see how it performs.

I bought a Bordeaux version a while ago from Rozmenko and have been very happy with it.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fiorenza-Lux-bordeaux-fountain-pen-MIB-/221533544775?pt=AU_PensWritingItems&hash=item33946da147
The Medium - Iridium Point Steel is quite smooth and nice to write with, while the pen itself is comfortable although smaller than the Rembrandt. The positioning of the threads at the front rather than the back of the grip is interesting but doesn't interfere with writing or feel funny. The only thing I don't like is the cheap looking "F" engraved on the chrome disc on the top of the cap. The resin doesn't quite have the same luster or depth of the higher end Visconti but is a bargain for well under $100AUD.

[Llewellyn]

Thanks Bogon, I thought that for $70 including shipping it was hard to go wrong. Does it take the same cartridge as a Visconti?

[Bogon07]

Thanks Bogon, I thought that for $70 including shipping it was hard to go wrong. Does it take the same cartridge as a Visconti?
I've seen them for $140-170 US so it is great value.
I think it takes a standard international push in converter. Mine came with one & I have not tried it with cartridges yet.
Some Visconti use screw in converters; I wonder if a cartridge would leak a little in one ?

My friend/punk/enabler Fredric posted about a deal on the Levenger L-Tech Plus (Fountain Pen with Stylus).....


The Levenger L-Tech is a fabulous pen! My husband has the black one, and its so worn-in now, the edges have rubbed off a little, revealing the brass underneath, so it has a wonderful aged look to it now. It has a nice heft and feel to it, and writes butter smooth. So I'm a fan. :)

[Faustine]

I am getting my first Lamy Studio today, and am so excited to branch out from the Lamy Safari/Al-Star line. It was an Ebay find, and should be waiting for me when I get home, WOOT! :dance3:

It's the Royal Red (no longer available) with a gold nib, which I've never used before, so am anxious to compare to the steel nibs I know. And I'm hoping what I've been reading online is true - that its less a true red and more a copper red-orange, which I would love.

I collected it this afternoon, inked with Diamine Graphite (arrived in the same parcel) and I'm swooning with delight. Beautiful pen, stunning nib (I've become a Pilot junkie), but I'm not enamoured with the "squeeze" converter. The ink is lovely too.

[Touchstone68]

Hi All,

After placing an order this morning, I'm looking forward to receipt of what is quite possibly the last Conway Stewart 'Churchill' in the country. Ideally, my preference would have been the bracket brown but Hobson's Choice has dictated that I go for the bracket green. I have however managed to have it fitted with the old style gold nib. The only alternative was the First World War Poppy edition which I'm not keen on. It should be delivered tomorrow.

Kind reagrds,

I could do that but I really hate cleaning out the cartridge. I'm impatient and clumsy so I may end up using it as a cartridge pen but that doesn't appeal too much either. However, I adore the pen so I'm determined to find a workable solution.

Congratulations, the LE acrylic looks scrumptious. What grade nib did you choose ?
I think it has the same type of steel nib as my Serena which writes very nicely.
The roller on the clip is fascinating too.

Chojo - also congratulations on the blue-green Al-Star. In some light conditions it will look more green-blue so you can trick people into thinking you have two slightly different pens.

Bellissima!!!!

[scrivelry]

I've had 8 pens come in today - well, one batch with one pen I wanted and two also-rans, and one with four pens I got for parts, and a Wearever for which I paid only 2.25 and that's a good thing because it was cracked in several places, and not little cracks either, but what is driving me crazy are the two Wing Sung 590's I am waiting for - it took them from the 18th to the 21st to get to my city from China - a distance in excess of 7 thousand miles. (I looked it up.)

It has been less than five miles from me, at the Post Office (not customs) since early in the morning on the 22nd! Four days to go 7,000 miles and then can't go five miles in the next four days...

*sigh* this has happened before. I should not let it bother me. It just - boggles my mind...

I am also waiting for a Sears Fountain pen. It has a particularly ugly cap, and I have no particularly bright expectations of it - I just had to buy it because - Fountain pen. Sears. Just too funny.

Now if it were a tactical fountain pen under the Craftsman label...

Oh, and Lalex which just seduced me with her beauty and her allegedly "fine" nib...

I refuse to look at my paypal account and add up everything I've spent on fountain pens the last year... It is just safer for my sanity this way...

[scrivelry]

My pens, which I mention above as being five mikles from me?

They are in Omaha, Nebraska. Which is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa more than five miles from me, and from the place five miles away that they were already.

Is there some unwritten rule that if a pen travels 7,000 miles to get to this country it has to travel another 7,000 miles around the country before it is delivered? Because it looks like that's what they are going for....

I'm still waiting patiently for my Nakaya from Iguana Sell. It's going to be a portable cigar in unpolished shu with a plain gold broad nib. I'll probably have the nib reground at some point. I'm really looking forward to seeing the matte urushi in the "flesh".

Also I've ordered a Pelikan maki-e. None of these unique models of course but a rather limited edition from last year, the Fantasia. It was love at first sight.

Besides I'm waiting for my Omas Ogiva Vintage to come back from Italy after the rose gold plating on the nib had partially disappeared during cleaning (with clear cold water, mind you). The good news: thanks to Novelli the matter was settled in only a few days. Maybe the new nib will even write better than the old one which skipped a little.

So now the waiting begins for it so ship. I'm a little afraid the nib is going to be much too fine for my taste, anyone know how hard it is to swap those Platinum nibs and where I might be a bigger replacement. (I believe it is a fine, so western EF, where I don't like anything under Western M really.)

[Bogon07]

Good luck!

[LagNut]

OK, he was able to get it off in a "Disassembly Line" video from 2013. I'm assuming the pen guts are similar to a 3776, but that might be an unwarranted assumption.

I'm hoping it will turn up soon - usually the UK post is quicker than this.....now hanging about the Chullora mail centre & the Visconti landed early this morning.

You don't hear much about them do you. Here is a review from Pencilcase.
http://www.pencilcaseblog.com/2014/08/lamy-scala.html

The Scala dimensions (141mm long 11.9mm diameter 38g)are very similar to the Studio (140mm long 11mm diameter 38g) according to a site.

[Jon Szanto]

Haven't post here in a while, but this was too cute to not: I was doing one of those "ok, that pen didn't interest me, I wonder what else they have for sale" when I ran across this 3rd tier fp+pencil set. No name anywhere at all, but in the other pics (hosted by Auctiva, couldn't snag them) all the hardware looks really clean and bright, even the 14k warranted nib looks good. Hardly cost anything, but I'm betting the celluloid will be handsome in person, and it certainly doesn't look like many other pens!

I'm waiting for a Sailor King of Pen in Ebonite with the naginata togi nib. I actually initially thought it would be only a 9-10 day wait as stated in the email after I had paid. I just contacted the dealer after waiting almost 2 weeks (not going to call anyone out at this time), and I just found out that the order was placed and the estimated delivery time was in a few months. I can't say I'm hugely surprised by this turn of events, but I won't deny that I am a bit disappointed at the turn-around time.

Thankfully I just got my hands on a red-stripe M800. It makes the situation sting less I guess :cry:

Well, I bought this pen a couple months back during an outrageous sale, and only inked it once (to make sure the internals were all good). I bought it in a broad nib so I could send it to our FPG Overlord, Dan, to do some magic. And now, in just a couple of days, he has put a very nice looking "Architect's Grind" on the nib, and my Levenger L-Tec is on it's way back to me. Can't wait, Dan!!

^ Whoa, when I ground my first nib, I did that by accident. I didn't know it had a name, and was, like, sought after. :)

Got my mystery pen from my wife last night:

Kaweco AL Sport in raw aluminum

It's so pretty and shiny I'm afraid to scratch it.

It came with a single cartridge of some light violet ink.

It writes very well, but I'm not sure yet if I like M or F nibs better.

I also acquired this pen a few weeks ago. Elegant, capable little trooper of a pen. Perfect w / my bullet journal

Got the little princess a Nib Creaper (just the right size for her delicate hands) for either a late Birthday or early Christmas present (haven't decided which).
I bought my first lever-fill today; an Esterbrook J in black. I'm excited to have a "Tom & Jerry" pen!

[ainterne]

Waiting on this Waterman 52.... but looking forward to the Strawberry Diamine coming with it.

[Inner Prop]

Got a blue Dilli from Fountain Pen Revolution. It came with a second throw-in pen.

I loaded the Dilli with Noodler's Baystate Blue. That's a nice color and it started writing straight away. It's feathering a bit more than any previous inks have on my Piccadilly.

The omas brown arco is a gorgeous pen. I was torn between that and the turqouise 360, but something about the demonstrator just drew me to it. The Omas ogiva bronze arco will be the next pen I buy. Can't wait to see some pictures when you get it!

The OMAS 360 VINTAGE LIMITED EDITION BROWN ARCO CELLULOID FOUNTAIN PEN SILVER HT TRIM is also a stunner as is the MSRP.

There was hardly any waiting the OMAS FOUNTAIN PEN OGIVA BRONZE ARCO CELLULOID LIMITED EDITION was delivered yesterday !
https://chatterleyluxuries.com/product/omas-fountain-pen-ogiva-celluloid-limited-edition/
Fast shipping from Pentime/Chatterley Luxuries. Ordered Friday evening and rec'd Monday afternoon, I wish all stationery from the USA to Australia was that fast.
And Mrs Bogon thinks it is a nice looking pen even if the yarn she ordered before it hasn't been delivered yet.

I bought a pen just like that a few months ago. Hadn't seen one with that band again until now. I need to fix mine though as it is leaking ink out of the nib its like one of three that have had that problem recently that were "restored".
