Classic Pens LB5 with Nagahara Cross Point Nib

[iruciperi]

Hi, guys.

I feel like it's time to move to another phase of this hobby, and let THE GRAIL pen leave my hand.

The grail is Classic Pens LB5 Kouseki (Brown) with Nagahara Cross Point Nib by Sailor.

Needless to say, one of the most renowned, hard-to-find pen with even harder-to-find nib.


I have no box or paper, but the pen itself is in a very good condition.

As this is so rare, it's quite hard to evaluate its value.

I'm asking for USD5,000.00 or best offer including EMS worldwide shipping with insurance. All offers are welcomed.

Please PM me if you are interested in, or need some pics.

$8,000!?!? 🤣. Good luck.

I agree with mandrbeck. It makes mine look like a sumgai deal 😂

As an LB5 owner, my fingers are crossed it sells at close the asking price.

[iruciperi]

I don't want to argue on the price here as I accept offers. If someone who wants to buy the pen thinks the price is too high, he/she just can send me an offer

Bump with price drop to USD7,000 or best offer.

Good morning,

No connection to this seller, just my two cents. I own 3 LB 5 fountain pens: blue, brown, white. They are exceptionally beautiful and well made. All of mine have the standard M nib. Looking at this pen, I believe the current asking price is pretty reasonable. The pen is presently valued among those who seriously want to buy and sell them at around $3,000 or more with standard nib. If we consider that the KoP Cross Point is worth around $2,000, then this pen is fairly priced. Hope I have not hijacked this thread. My genuine apologies if I am out of turn.

Best wishes, Barry
