1 sheaffer balance lever fill, 1 sheaffer vac fill, 1 targa, 1 sheaffer flat top. Oh I forgot, and one Noodler's Konrad Pequods Smoke. Shipping from the US to the Philippines is more than $20 for the first kilo so I need to maximize that expense (or so I like to tell myself haha).Originally Posted by fountainpenkid

I just purchased a silver Sheaffer Legacy M nib.
still waiting for my vacumatic.
isn't it supposed to be sunny in philly?
Sorry, I really need to get the photography thing under control.
open the blinds or set a bonfire. or both.
Thanks. Maybe I just won't submit photos.
oh come on now I'm just joshing. I'm no ansel adams either.
I understood. No offense taken. I'm serious about having to eschew photos until I can not only make them decent, but figure out why mine always come out as thumbnails.

when I click on your photos they zoom up just fine. I think you just need a lot more light. I try and take photos outdoors on a sunny day or else I'm hauling lamps all over the house to get enough light.
Again, thanks. I will keep trying.
Much more light or increase the ISO setting if you can but sunlight through a window with sheer cutains works good. Just going outside helps too.

Thanks, I'm working on it.
none, the last two arrived today : )
Possibly a p51 vac. I'll put it for sale once its restored.
Noodler's Konrad in demo blue just showed up.I can see stuff in the barrel that will need to be cleaned up before first inking. It looks like shavings from the threads for the piston mechanism. Definitely a "clean the pen before you ink" type pen.
Something I have wondered about is confirmed with this pen. I always have thought that when storing a pen, be it piston or converter, you should store it with the piston in the retracted position because there is less deforming pressure on the piston seals. You can see it clearly with this pen. The seal gets pushed up against the barrel more when it is closer to the nib and less when retracted. I never could see that with my TWSBIs, so it may just affect certain pens.
