Australians will recognize it: Ninox scutulata, the Brown Hawk Owl, a close relative to the Barking Owl and Boobook.

Is this actual price paid or msrp valve of pen? For the first it's a Cervantes for the second it's a Duofold Rockwell

Beautiful pen Fritz! are the eyes of the owl iridescent? or is that appearance from the photo?

 

Would also enjoy seeing the 'other seasons'.. have never seen that pen before!

I paid $600 for my Hemingway, but if I had to replace it, I'd have to pay maybe five times that, so I'd have to say the Hemingway.

The pen on which the design of the Hemingway is based - the MB 139.

But I have leaned my lesson and I am never going to do that again.

 

(The lesson is that everything past the nib is jewelry. I don't care for jewelry.)

The price for this one is that I am going to have to sign a marriage certificate with it in June. Beat that.

Help? Why am I buying so many fountain pens?

The list price for this one was higher at the time, but I didn't pay as much for my Stipula Bernini:

Most most expensive pen is my Nakaya, lincluding customs fees it came to $680 CAD.

 

However the pen that was the biggest challenge in trusting my ability to create abundance was the Mont Blanc Chopin I purchased in 2002.

At that time I was begining new ventures and had always been very careful with money and so the thought of spending nearly 200 pounds ( I was living in Scotland) on a pen back then was almost an impossible thought!

I looked at the pen time and time again, then my bank balance and then did something I had never done before and said to heck with it, I have the money I am going to get it! It was one of the most wonderous and yet nerve racking decsions I ever had made but I was so gald I did it as an acknowlegement to my hard work and determination to do what I wanted to do in this world, it really marked a turning point in my life and helped me go on to even more wonderful things...That pen will follow me to my grave!

I paid about $130 for my Decimo, which is the most expensive pen I've bought. I inherited an old Duofold, which is supposed to be between $400 and $500 restored, from what I can tell... I'm not really interested in the price, actually, as I'm never going to sell it - it belonged to my great-grandfather, and I could never part with it.
