Hello Montblanc owners I recentlys tarted collecting Montblancs and was able to get some of them on ebay and one in Selfridges. I currently have a WE Schiller FP PoA Pavarotti FP I also have a nice generation rollerball and am waiting on 149 I know its a modest collection and I am aware there are people with completed sets here but I am always looking for new ones. So my main goal is to increase the collection but not overpay. I should mention I'm studying right now so don't have funds for overpaying. Thats what makes it even more appealing since I am constantly looking for deals. I was thinking of getting a shaw soon and then having small pause to gather more funds. One of the pens I want to have are gaius, joseph, ramses, einstein or other great characters. So if anyone is selling some interesting ones please contact me since I am not interested in whether its sealed or inked and for me a pen is both to look and write good. So I am a bit of both a collector and someone who would write with them. There is an outlet in the uk where I found many good deals one of those was the lennon limited for 1200 pounds but I was not sure if it was such a good deal as the people tell me hahah So anyone willing to talk, sell, or just discuss about models please do that Andrej

I've just got back from WES 2014 in London and I'm considerably poorer. This is my first pen show and honestly it was overwhelming, in a good way. I had no clue where to look and what to buy, too many pens too little money. I have been contemplating buying an Onoto for awhile, its just one of those things that I found hard to justify so I controlled myself, however I did know that they're going to be at WES and told myself that I need to control the impulse purchases. The Onoto stand was one of the first on entering the pen show, They had most of their available items on display and I must say they are all exquisite. The only pen not on their website but on the stall that I could see was a new "Jade" Onoto Magna Classic, a limited edition of 50 pieces. I tried out the Jade and the new Excel and at that point I was basically sold on the "Jade", however I told myself there much more inside pace yourself . Inside the show it was a completely different ball game, overwhelming, extremely overwhelming, after circling around the show a few times, back I was at the Onoto stand and now I've made up my mind to splurge on the Jade Magna Classic. However Alastair the CEO of Onoto throws a spanner in the works for my wonderfully well laid out plans by showing me the last two pieces of the Havana Brown and the Tortoise shell, and left me with one of the hardest decisions I had to take in the last few weeks, "Which one do I buy? There all so beautiful", after much indecisive deliberation I finally settled on the Jade and here it is. I apologise for the red background, its a bit too red and quite painful to the eyes, will post up better pics later today.

Hi folks, I signed up for WES membership at the London Pen Shop on the 6th of October, and just wondered if anyone knew how long it usually took for them to send out membership packs? I emailed the secretary a few days ago & haven't heard anything back yet, so thought I'd check here in case anyone knew if they were OK, or if they checked the WES email weekly or something. Best wishes all Robin
