What is your latest pen acquisition?

[Cob]

I got this brown tortoise Pelikan 400 at a fleamarket today, in very nice shape. a clean up and some flushing and it writes again (very smooth and with some flex).

Hmm, looks as though you have a much better class of flea in Denmark than we do here in England...

I don´t know, i have never been to a fleamarket in England, i don´t think there would be much difference though, some times you are lucky other times you are not .

I was thinking the same thing! The flea markets in my area are rubbish.

[farmdogfan]

I go to a lot of fleamarkets and most af them are rubbish, but every now and again luck strikes, you got to look in small boxes and other places that has enough room to hide a pen, sometimes people don´t even know that they have a pen, and they look surprised when you find one.

Online Campus (Dangerous Animals series) Black Dragon, with a fine steel Iridium point. Cartridge of blue ink & a fake cartridge (open at both ends) included.
Plastic except for the clip & nib. The section is circular with three wedges cut out giving it a subtle Lamy Safari like grip.

I think it should take an international converter as there is space in the barrel for two cartridges.

This nice Bayard 8 from the 1930s arrived; I am hoping for an authentic 1930s Parisian experience!

Not an acquisition but a birthday present. Another Sheaffer 100 from the same boy who made bite marks all over my black one.

I got the Twsbi i've been after a couple as a belated birthday gift, but sadly i have to return it as the nib is skipping like crazy.

Double Parker 51 desk set on marble base was gifted to me last night! A guy I barely know who I met through my local lapidary, and in the 3 times I have met him I know he has a heart of gold and loves making people happy, saw this recently on some site being given away and he got it for me. I just got it last night. Absolutely pristine, never been inked, sacs are fine, just needs a little polishing.2014-09-03 23.59.48.jpg2014-09-04 00.00.05.jpg2014-09-04 00.01.28.jpg2014-09-04 00.02.09.jpg

My latest acquisition is a Waterman 32V that turned out to have a nice nib... except that it's double bent (see in Waterman thread on this forum).
Otherwise really lovely - my first Waterman

[Cob]

This one arrived yesterday, a Waterman's 3 in a rather pretty multi-coloured marbled material. I had to fit a lever-box and of course a new sac. I am delighted with it. Waterman's Canada certainly knew how to make a flexible nib!

I had a bunch of stuff come in all at once, but the best of that was a pen very like the one I had and lost when I worked in Manhattan. I've been looking for one for a year and a half, and now I have it!

(This pen was probably less than ten dollars new, and nothing special, really, but... to me it is.)

My most recent purchase is this...


A Montblanc 234 1/2 PL set. I just love looking at that celluloid.

Neato pen!!

My wife that has less knowledge of FP than I (and I know nothing!!), but still thinks of me from time to time.. came home a few hours ago with this little set..
Plenty of different size nibs to play with

She the best!!

Wow, a 2.8mm. That's cool. LAMY joys biggest nib is only 1.9

Before you return it look at TWSBI's YouTube Chanel they offer suggestions for correcting this.
