Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Thank you goodguy, lovely and complete review. I love that you put down the production numbers too!

A superb review! I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say how much (while being insanely jealous, naturally) I have enjoyed your collecting journey.

 

A couple of points, though. Firstly, which is the pen that you like least and did you find yourself just having to buy it because of the collection - I'm trying for all the Pelikan Cities, but find the thought of Piccadilly Circus and New York hard going. Do you have similar misgivings about any of the pens?

 

And then, most importantly of all - we need to know what Zuzik thinks. Can it be possible that he has lost interest in pens now you have the complete set?

 

John

 

P.S. Oh no, I know what it is - he's started trawling eBay for Savannah & Terracotta Safaris! :lol:

JELL-O, IT'S WHATS FOR DINNER!

Well John I do have one WE that is my least favorite but I will keep it to myself as I dont want to hurt anyone.

People get very attached to their pens and they might be offended.

 

Tzutzik has a dream pen, he told me to start saving money for it.

Its not a MB but its STUNNING!!!

I hope I will get enough money to get it and that pen will still be available.

Respect to all

He's back from his little sojourn hiding from the law in Rio, is he?

Just a reminder, that's all. The Poe is of 17,000, no matter what the MB site states.It's on the pen.

Thanks

 

Yes, of course, but (not to sound like Obama) let's be clear...14,000 are individual FPs, and the 14,001 to 17,000 are the three piece sets.

 

We can debate in another thread in the MB forum what constitutes an LE. I may actually agree with you, MidnightBlue.

Hard times don't last, but hard people do.

 

Thank a Veteran.

Beat up and humiliated, tail between my legs, it's 14,000 of the single and balance in sets.

Thanks
