What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2017

[tgoto]

That's beautiful.

Thank you!!

I've been missing my first OMAS since it went to my daughter, so I am so excited

(at least my daughter is showing interest in fountain pens...)

Just ordered a wing sung 698. I'm a sucker for demonstrators so I bought a clear one. It had been on my wishlist for a while and I finally pulled the proverbial trigger.

A teal Pilot 78G with a broad nib (which is actually a stub/italic). I've been looking for other Pilot stub nibs since getting a Plumix a few weeks ago because it's more crisp than the 1.1mm nibs I've tried on other brands.

 

Now I need a teal ink to match.

I really had a big luck to have found another of my unicorns on my wish list.

Yesterday in fact, i paid for the Pelikan Souveran M600 pink.

This will be my first true pelikan because i only own the M200 amethyst with steel nib (writes very well). But the M600 is pink and it has gold nib and i was looking for this pen for so long.

I am happy

I can't look forward it comes.

Just ordered my second Vanishing Point, a Black Rhodium Medium Nib.

 

Will be in my hands Monday. This is my first new pen in a few months.

I'm waiting on my first ever fountain pen, a Pilot Metropolitan in Black! Looking forward to giving this whole fountain pen thing a go

Still waiting for six Jinhao 992 demonstrators. It's a long way from China...

[ReadyFireAim]

I finally found one of these in fantastic condition and it's on the way

I know that feeling, Eli. I have three on the way, from two weeks ago.

 

Still, patience...

I hope you enjoy your Metropolitan. It should be a great pen. Let us know how you get on with it.

Yeah, the feeling is quite familiar - it's the third time I buy from the same trusted seller, three weeks in the mail is perfectly normal

I went for the entire rainbow: six demonstrators and six opaque.

 

Three have the dreaded cracking around the bung, all three are demonstrators.

Pelikan Souverän M800

Great pen! Love mine.

Bad news.

I've got a Delta Journal on the way to me. It's the Journal "2.0" version, if you will, so it's got a steel nib but I've also ordered a Fusion nib for it.

 

Matte Blue in broad.

[MercianScribe]

None!!

 

For the first time in a long time!

 

Got my last five bumper packages all at once from the US and UK last Saturday, and most of that is calligraphy books, although I did get some rather splendid gold and green dipping inks, a Waverley Standard red ripple from MacNiven & Cameron, a Wyvern and a mysterious maybe German thing.

[windibd]

Lamy Dialog 3 piano white with an M nib to match the piano black with F nib. I feel no guilt in buying both since I'm a piano player (although I must confess I love the look of shiny black lacquer).

[AmandaW]

My Jinhao 992 arrived in good condition - no sign of any cracking. The 599 isn't so great - I love the look of red ink in the clear feed, but it's hard to start - I'm hoping it's just the ink and will try something else once I've used it up.

 

New orders added to the slow boat: Pilot Pluminix F and a Pilot Kakuno F.
