    Mrs Bogon just updated me from home that her Purple Visconti Rembrandt was delivered this morning at 8:00am precisely by demonstrating the sound of its magnetic cap. And is testing out it's Rollergraphic option.

    It is going to be one of those dangerous pens that you pick up to look at and find you've been gazing at it for twenty minutes.

    Mrs Bogon heard an advert on the radio that Peters of Kennsington were selling Waterman & Parkers at a discount this weekend. I keep forgetting these guys also sell pens .
    Now we're waiting on a Visconti purple Rembrandt & a Parker Sonnet set.
    What!?? And I didn't know?! Aarghh

    It was for Peters of Kensington's online shop. I'm impressed with their speed.
    lookslike they are still on sale.

    Ok I've gone and done it now - after buying a new vacuum with my bonus check I had some money left over that was just waiting to burn a hole in my pocket - I just ordered a TWSBI 580 with a 1.1 stub nib, a pack of the America the Beautiful Field Notes, and a firm broad Esterbrook nib from Anderson pens. I've been griping for a while about how my Esterbrook fine nib is just like poking a needle through paper, so I finally got a firm broad nib. Now the trick will be waiting for a few days for the mail to come.

    Jennie, I have to agree with you a bout those fine Esterbrook nibs. I bought a very nice gray SJ a while back and the nib that came with it was a 1551 IIRC. Not only was it really fine but the tines tips were actually screwed up too! I then ordered and paid for on top of my original purchase price a 9668 from Andersons. Much better but the pen still skipped. So I gave up on Esterbrooks for the time being. Which freed me up in a sense to really concentrate upon my search for a really nice Parker Vacumatic in the azure blue stripe. I now have my "grail pen". (see attached - not the greatest picture but...).

    Saintpaulia congratulations on the Vacumatic with azure blue stripes, it is a beautiful looking pen.

    Bikerbabe, neat catch of Jinhaos. The 500 is a nice shape and the red marble is a bit of a looker too.

    Visconti Rembrandt in Ivory, and Visconti Opera blue swirl with matching travelling in pot and rollerball ( I think the latter is included, not entirely sure) and though not a pen, a reaaly great "B" seal.

    Orange (maybe Apricot) Visconti Rembrandt Calligraphy set. Mrs Bogon has now discovered she likes italics and holding a Graphite Al-Star with 1.1 Italic hostage.
