Inking one of my Grail of Grails...

I never in a million years ever thought I would ever be able to afford one of these, but a crazy set of circumstances appeared out of nowhere and it basically fell into my lap at a reasonable price. I had to sell a lot of my personal pens and am still trying to sell a lot to finance it, but it was/is so worth it. Because I am user, the pen is already at the pen spa to get stubbed. It wrote very nicely, but for me to use it every day I really needed it to be stubbed... I will post more pics when I get it back... But here she is!!! Enjoy the pics!

You know, I was thinking of the 333 Skeleton when I read the title and saw your name. Consider me shocked!

Congratulations!

 

EDIT: What condition did you buy it as?

I was pretty shocked to when I pulled the trigger :)

I bought it as is, brand new, but no box or papers, and now that I know I am going to keep it, I am perfectly OK with that... I dont really think the box is that nice anyway :)

Good news for your wallet! (Relative of course). Hope to see a review after it's stubbed!

Yeah, I had to sell 1 or 10 of my pens to buy it, but still, so far "worth" it.

Now that's a pen! The demonstrator of all demonstrators. It even has a halo. Did the rest of you notice it has a halo? Only write good things with this pen, that's just how nice it is.

A very nice pen! It looks to be very worth it. You really had some guts filling it. To tell you the truth it writes wonderfully just as it is.

Me too! I will for sure!

 

Blissful sigh...

Are you going to Philly or LA? You can write with in the flesh if you are!

Indeed... Except this pen I was never really looking for because I never thought it would be in my range... Then voila!

You are right... I almost didnt get it stubbed... Almost :)

Honestly, I dont own a pen that is not a stub, with the exception of my Agatha and I just cant seem to send it off. I dont know why. I will be much happier with it stubbed though, if thats possible.

I'm totally honored that you'd offer, Bry! Can't manage the shows, so you'll have to keep it lovely for me until I can catch up with it.

 

That's a lovely ink choice.
