    Well, I was up half the night questing after this gorgeous pen. Atsu at cool-japan on ebay tells me he has them for sale at $269.00. I'm waiting to confirm this is the same pen posted above, but I believe it is. I have purchased from him in the past and he's reliable and a good communicator. You can reach him via this link: https://www.ebay.com/usr/cool-japan?ul_noapp=true

    Atsu is a god-send when it comes to getting special request fountain pens and inks from within Japan. He's my favourite seller - polite, accommodating and reliable.

    Ok. So this is supposed to be a "Cocktail Series" pen. Does anyone know what cocktail it might be?

    Isn't the pen named after the cocktail itself i.e. an Apres Ski, involving mix of green creme de menthe, vodka, lemonade & a few other bits & pieces? I've only had it once - definitely not my kind of drink Like the pen though

    Yes, exactly so. I hunted the recipe down and may get the shaker out!
