Just ordered several Chinese pens - four Heros (three of which are 360s) and one Jinhao. Only two of them are for me; the others are getting farmed out to folks. :)

A Regal Fitzgerald, from a Massdrop that ended last weekend; I'm planning on using it as my main traveling/away-from-home-desk pen, assuming Eclat de Saphir looks good with its nib :)

Sheaffer Lifetime Balance vac-filled pen and pencil set. I am really looking forward to trying it out. I also sent my Snorkel for an overhaul, so I am waiting for it to come back.

Dutchpen just hooked me up with a pen I've wanted for about a decade. In 1995, I received a Montblanc Vermeil Solitaire Rollerball as a gift. Since about 2005, I've been hankering for a fountain pen to go with it – even before I learned to write with a fountain pen. Yesterday, it came up for sale in the classifieds. Gotta say that this duck hopped all over that junebug!

 

So now I'm waiting for this nifty little pen in the mail ...

It's a fountain pen all right ...

It's got an oblique medium nib, which sounds interesting for me to try. Might make it easier for me to write the way I generally hold pens. We'll see. But it sure looks cool – serious nibbage ...

Dutchpen was a real pleasure to deal with. Really fast – and very understanding as I spazzed all over myself trying to buy the pen before someone else grabbed my grail!

That's a beauty, no doubt. And if you don't like that oblique nib, you can just send it to me; it is one of my favorites. MB will change it out for you for about $100, and you won't get to keep the old nib.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

I'll keep you in mind for that. Thanks.

Thanks – I just noticed that your tagline is similar to my description. I didn't mean to infringe. :-)

Cheap Parker always seem to get the better of me. This time one of the few modern ones I am yet to try a Parker Esprit.

Waiting on one of FPH's Pelikan M201 Bayous but it won't be released until August.

Again, it's a nib I am waiting for, not a pen.

I've spent a couple of months trying (in vain) to make friends with a shiny new JoWo 18K 1.1 mm. factory stub. This nib unit has just been sent to Pendleton Brown, to give it some "good jazz".

*Sailor 1911S, Black/gold, 14k. 0.8 mm. stub(JM) *1911S blue "Colours", 14k. H-B "M" BLS (PB)

*2 Sailor 1911S Burgundy/gold: 14k. 0.6 mm. "round-nosed" CI (MM) & 14k. 1.1 mm. CI (JM)

*Sailor Pro-Gear Slim Spec. Ed. "Fire",14k. (factory) "H-B"

*Kaweco SPECIAL FP: 14k. "B",-0.6 mm BLS & 14k."M" 0.4 mm. BLS (PB)

*Kaweco Stainless Steel Lilliput, 14k. "M" -0.7 mm.BLS, (PB)
