I have everything shipped to my workplace because I don't trust my local carrier. I was sitting one morning, drinking some coffee and I saw the postlady stop at my box and left the mail. I walked out and it was a notice to pickup the package at the post office because my dog would not allow her to enter the property to leave the package. I did not even own a dog at the time. UPS tends to throw packages over the fence in an area I will not notice, and it could sit a while. FedEx just makes up stuff to leave the package in the truck over the weekend.

If I'm not mistaken, the M101N Lizard is closer to the M400 size. Pelikan website says it's 12.3 cm capped, 14.7 grams.
The M320 on the other hand is 11 cm capped, 11 grams. So it's noticeably smaller and lighter. When I take pictures of it this weekend, I'll put it next to an Aussie coin/note to show size, just for you.
And you always manage to get beautiful and discontinued Viscontis. Make sure you show it off once it arrives.

Beautiful Montblanc, orfew! I've always liked those but when it came to buying a new pen it always was something else - so it's still looking at pictures for me.
The latest additions to my collection from the past month or so.
I apologise for the miserable photo quality, but I had guests last night, so all of my photo gear had to be removed from the dining table and put away for the night, and I had to use my pocket camera for this.

Dip pen, made of brass and stone which I think is agate, but I'm not sure.
I got the first batch for 250 DKK, that's 46 USD, and the second batch plus dip pen for 300 DKK, that's 55 USD.

The Parker 51 vacumatic arrived today from Peyton Street Pens. No question the fastest shipping I've had from any vendor each time I buy from Terry. The pen is lovely. No surprises, we all know what to expect with a 51 and this one did not disappoint. I was especially happy to get it as a vacumatic. The barrel is dark blue, gold cap. Noodler's Coloure Royale is a perfect match.

I've already posted the photos on the what pens are you waiting for thread. This is just to confirm that I now have both in hand and they exceed expectations, which were pretty high to begin with.
