What Pen Did You Get Today?

[gregkoos]

Smaller Waterman - 92V in the Persian color - looking forward to getting it in good shape. These Persians are really pretty.

My blue Lamy Studio w/ a custom ground 1.1mm stub nib. Love the way it writes, looks, and feels in my hand.

Guess what came in the mail today?

 

A couple that I had won at eBay last week - a Danitrio Tosca celluloid in a wild mix of black, amber, blue and violet; and a Tibaldi Modello 60 both won from seller "operadoc" (also known as winedoc / Kevin Cheng here - the ultimate Danitrio seller )

Wooohooooo!!! Another one arrived today :clap1:

 

This time it's a Delta Europa in beautiful dark blue resin, with streaks of white all over it.

 

This pen comes with a 18K Broad nib, which lays down a smooth, fat line - Ghost Plane would just love this kind of 'luscious' nib :roflmho:

 

Bought it here at FPN Marketplace from cellulophile

Three Heroes:

 

1. Hero 100 (Stainless)

2. Hero 328 (Red)

3. Hero 2019 (Blue & Silver)

 

The Hero 2019 is a rather nice looking pen.

I received the clear blue Pelican Pelikano I got from dillo in the marketplace. Thanks again dillo.

Ordered today: a Bexley BX701 in Cappucino with a Medium nib

 

Wanted to order today: Sailor 1911 with a 21K Medium nib, but for once actually execised restraint.

 

Expecting today: Parker Duofold Chocolate Pinstripe roller ball, when I just need to blow through note-taking

[Rapt]

Bought a $33 Danitrio TacII from Kevin Cheng (winedoc) last week... anxiously awaiting its arrival... and meanwhile being tempted by various and sundry others... Pilot Prera, Pilot Crystal, a vintage flex nib to try out...

 

I've decided the Pilot Custom 823 in brown is REALLY nice and Id like one... someday... and that if I ever come into some significant money I want a Nakaya similar to the one reviewed by Laura (Phthalo)...

 

Meantime I'm impatiently working on a couple Estie restorations and hoping my first ink shipment (including free Preppie) goes out soon so I can actually write with some of these pens soon.

 

I keep telling myself I'm looking for a pen for my girlfriend who has expressed an interest in having her own fountain pen, so long as its blue.

Two Parker Frontiers for my sons, who want to write with a fountain pen, but are a bit too young to noodle around with my Duolfold!

 

Two Pelikan M1000 (F nibs) - the price was just too good, I had to get two (this really is an addiction, isn't it?)

 

Two of the Danitrio pens from Kevin.

Oh, boy, are you in for a treat! I just tonight received this very pen! I love it. It's so beautiful. I loaded it with Galileo Manuscript Brown. YUMMY!!! It writes like a dream!

 

I also received my Pelikan M200 tonight, blue marble with medium nib. I'm in heaven. The piston turn knob worked perfectly out of the box tonight, and I don't have to send it off unless I want the nib "wanded."

I'm so frustrated. . . I ordered a Pilot Namiki Vanishing Point Fermo from Asia. Sat and waited as patiently as was possible. Watched the FedEx website tracking the package and seeing it was on a truck for delievery I practically stood at the door waiting, BUT, because of todays snow storm in Central Illinois the driver went back to the office rather than completing his deliveries. So, I got in the car and drove through the snow storm to the airport where the FedEx office is located to pick up my NEW green Fermo. I was so excited I even took a green Namiki cartridge along in my pocket. Came out of the office and opened the package. Now all of you may know the emotions and excitement I was feeling! ! !

 

They shipped a regular plan old everyday vanishing point. Talk about let down and disappointment.

 

Now it is to wait even longer! Have emailed the vendor and can only hope for an immediate reshipment!

Aurora Optima from tnt.

 

Also, another Sumgai for me: Nettuno 1911 for $158.49 from eBay. It was mislabeled as a Nettuno Trident, which would have sold for about half as much; 1911 was originally a pen that sold in the 800 euro range and not a Trident (list price USD $525). This is a MONSTER pen. (I'd even asked the seller if it were really a Trident and not a 1911, but the seller insisted it was a Trident, but the engravings on the body and cap said otherwise.)

I received my Marlen dot.com ... smoooooooth writer. Like buttah.

 

And I purchased my first Pilot VP (chrome) ... now looking for Binder nibs

[AKAGodSent]

Aurora 88 M nib. After having a few FPN members tell and then practically order me to get one I was intrigued, finally got around to getting it today at Altman Luggage for an excellent price. Highly recommended, very light, high ink capacity, smooth writer with some feedback when you put it to paper, just an excellent pen.

Talked to Pam Braun for the first time today - ten minutes later I had ordered an Omas Bologna Black Orange.

 

 

[Gothmeister]

Last week, I bought a new Waterman Phileas in Blue Marble, with a Fine nib.

 

Last night I won a new Parker Frontier for £4.20 on Ebay, Red/Black, Medium nib.

 

Both pens are from Monsieur Lewertowski.
