What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2015

[TeaHive]

Whoot! All three of my Noodler's pens came in today! And here I thought it would be more of a steady trickle of pens. Ah well. And my Kaweco in all black should arrive tomorrow.

Yay, my new Pel M400 EF nib has arrived. I would still describe it as medium, but it's a good writer.

Love, love, loving my new sapphire Pilot Metal Falcon that arrived yesterday from Goulet. Not only is it beautiful, it writes like a dream.

 

I have two other Falcons, so I shouldn't be surprised. But given the other Pilots I've tried and rejected, that's still the case.

I always wanted one but the prices had shot up by the time I had disposable funds. I've got an early non telescopic Esprit which does have the same qualities rotring was famous for. So I've come to accept I probably won't get one unless some sumgai was to come my way.

 

I justified the purchase by telling myself that I won't fall prey to other inferior pens that cross my path and waste money on them. Come to think of it, I justify every purchase that way.

 

Some sumgai?

Still waiting for my ST Dupont XL Montparnasse Chairman in Grenat but it's been about twenty years now and still has not shown up.

I'm waiting for two Pelikan M400 pens to arrive (white tortoise & green). Both are EF nibs. I think the green one will arrive next Friday.

Is the gold EF nib much wider than the steel EF nib (like the one on my Pelikan M205)?

I caved in this week and ordered a few pens I've been keeping my eye on. Got a lamy 2000 BB, custom 823 B and a waterman carene M. Ugh damn temptation!!!

I don't have any other Pels so only have the gold EF in my M400, so I can't give you a comparison. Lots of others can though!

I would describe it as between a western fine and medium. Still considerably broader than my Sailor and Platinum Mediums. I have read that the steel nibs run finer, but have no direct experience.

 

I absolutely LOVE the tortoiseshell. I can't stop looking at it and touching it! Hope you enjoy yours.

A couple Jinhaos: a 588 in blue, and an unknown model with a blue and white floral porcelain pattern (not the X450 version, which I already have). Aaaaand I found a Kaweco Sport in the limited Dark Brown color on eBay, so I snatched it. I intend to put a bronze clip on it, squee of joy!

Trick it out, TeaHive! I remember the way you did the extreme makeover on the Preppy.

 

Goulet Pen Co. had a buy one get one Jinhao special, so I'm getting three different models, and three "sparkly pens." Looking forward to saying ni hao to the Jinhaos.

I finally made the decision to purchase another Pilot Custom 74 to replace the one I lost...BUT, I also decided to get a limited edition version in Violet...Due to the weak yen, it ended up being the same price of the Pilot Custom 74 Demonstrator in Violet that I lost.

 

Here's a picture of what the pen looks like

Oooh, that's pretty!

 

I'm still waiting on my White Tortoise. I had it shipped to Art for nib work; it got to him so now I wait.

That is a very good-looking pen. I hope you enjoy it.

I am sure I will, thank you. Despite it being an old design it is my favourite. Love the balance and feel too.
