What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2017

[mallymal1]

Another couple of P45's.

A NOS Pelikan M151 green/black M nib, one of those gift box sets that includes a bottle of 4001 ink, hard to tell which from the photo, maybe blue?

 

eta: This is a post-97 model; the derby caps are pretty common on ebay but I'd only seen one of these for sale before.

A nearly mint Targa 1014 Foxhead. This is a pen that I've been looking for for almost 20 years. I did find one at the DC Supershow in 2014 but it was pretty beat up. Badly brassed and scratched. The cap retention clip was all bent up and scored the section every time the cap was put on or taken off. I'm so happy to have found one that's in really good shape and in its original box.

 

This is a model that's really hard to find in the USA. It was made in England, only 500 pens, and all 500 were retailed at Harrod's of London. Very few have crossed the pond.

Just ordered a Jinhao 159 off of eBay to replace my broken Jinhao x750. I've got a Goulet F nib from my x750 laying around not doing anything, so I figured I'd get a new body to put it in.

I've got a Monteverde Aldo Domani (I couldn't find anything about it online but it was pink so I wanted it, damn it) from Massdrop, FPR Himalaya, and a Jinhao x450 I'm putting a Zebra G nib in. There's a couple that haven't shipped yet too. I didn't own a single fountain pen two months ago, what the hell happened?

A brown tortoise Pelikan, listed as an M400 but I think it's actually an M250 Levenger, comparing the photos with those on the Perch site. Either way, can't wait! Should arrive on or before the 19th.

A couple of Jinhao 992's.

[Tasmith]

Wing Sung 698, extra fine, clear with silver trim.

 

Was ordering ink from Vanness Pens, and the Wing Sung 698 came up in a "You may also like" window and I thought, "Why not! " Wanted to get one for a while but never got around to searching the internet for one.

 

I paid more ($24 to be exact) than from other sources, but I'm getting it from a trusted vendor. A few dollars more, but still a bargain for a piston filler and bit less than a TWSBI Eco.

Waiting on my very first real fountain pen - Lamy 2000 and various ink samples from Goulet.
