I certainly will but since I left on vacation and it was delivered to my office waiting for me. I won't be home for 21/2 weeks yet

Two italic/cursive/stub pens, after falling in love with Lamy 1.1 nib.
This Jinhao one and a Kaigelu 356

Re: What Pens(s) Are You Waiting For?
I have a couple things to celebrate, including an upcoming birthday. So, since I love me those Gi-Normous-Zilla-size pens, and am hankering after a demonstrator eyedropper, I ordered this Franklin Christoph 66 in "Solid Ice"; it's over 6 inches un-posted. Masayuma Broad Italic screwed into the end. Of course, they took the entire stock to the Miami Pen Show and can't fill the order until they return, but that will keep me from opening my present too early.
Wondering what lovely ink to show off in this one.....

Re: What Pens(s) Are You Waiting For?
I am waiting on one from our own Shawn Newton. I decided to prolong the anticipation and pick it up from him in DC. I won't say for now which one I chose or what material, but will post pictures in that other thread once in hand. Perhaps with the maker himself! :-)

Re: What Pens(s) Are You Waiting For?
Snagged a used Waterman L'Etalon off Ebay for what seemed to me a decent price. I wasn't shopping for it. I wasn't watching the auction. I was just screwing around, did a general search of auctions ending within a half hour or so, saw it, liked it, did a little sold-items research, and manually bid on it in the last several seconds. Strangely, I haven't had any Waterman pens from any era since I gave my Stalwart to my oldest son.

If you would like, you can send it to me for testing purposes before you use it. I'll let you know if everything is good to go. And if you don't like it after you try it, you can still send it to me.I have a couple things to celebrate, including an upcoming birthday.

Re: What Pens(s) Are You Waiting For?
So excited! Renee Meeks just finished my ultra custom pen and it was shipped today. I am just about bouncing around waiting for it to arrive. Going to be a loooong couple of days.

Re: What Pens(s) Are You Waiting For?
I'm waiting on three pens currently. The one I've been waiting on longest is the Hakumin Edison Pearl in the same black-gold-clear Kara-nuri finish that the LE was done in a few years back. If anyone hasn't seen it, it looks like this.
Has to be one of the the most gorgeous urushi finishes I've ever seen. Ordered it in September and Ernest now says that it should be done by the end of this month. I'm so excited!
The other two pens that are due a couple months from now are a Japanese eyedropper Eboya Kyouka and a very special pen that's going to be made by Shawn Newton =]
