So the pens are unpacked and tested out.

One pen is for my father as a belated Father's Day present and the matching pen is for me.

Sailor 1911 profit large with gold accents and a broad nib for the father.

Sailor 1911 profit large black luster limited edition with medium nib.

I chose the black luster as I'm not a fan of gold for the use of this pen. I want it to be understated and I don't like matte finish on pens. The all black with ion plated on the 21k gold nib is nice and subtle. Plus the grip section is metal which apparently makes writing easy for long periods of time.

I wanted the broad nib but couldn't get mine in broad.

Thanks. Quick iPhone pics in night artificial light.

When I get my Mont Blanc back I should get them done. Well besides the gold accents given its a present.

Nice selection. The black luster is very handsome.

Waiting on my Parker 51 with a .5 stub. I've been trying to snatch for a while. I was lucky enough to beat out two other people and buy it from Greg Minuskin. I think it'll be the perfect journaling pen. But I sure hate waiting.

Really beautiful pens and some fantastic ink too.

Congrats and enjoy.. AND thanks for the pen porn!
