What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2017

[eliweisz]

A Platinum Century #3776 Bourgogne, M nib - for my red inks.

[Bidle]

I just ordered my first fountain pen, as I got some of the others as a gift. Read many reviews and think it will be a nice first choice.

Pilot Custom 74 demonstrator in blue. :-)

[Miaxina]

Jinhao Shark pens with the EF nib in purple, pink, cyan and blue

I have a problem!
I just bought a Custom 823, Justus 95 and two more VPs although I have one in each nib size except in EF. But now I will!

What have I done?!
The only other pens on my to buy list are Sailor 1911 Large and Realo, Pro Gear Realo.

Good problem lol

I am hoping to get 1911 Large Anchor Grey with music nib

Not kidding ...I got it here

Now I have to figure out what ink to use

[Pentode]

An Esterbrook squeeze filler in pale blue/grey and a German piston filler from the '30s (with a non-functional piston), both from the Bay of E.

 

I expect the Estie will need little more than a good cleaning. The piston filler, on the other hand, might be something of a project....

I am waiting for a Platinum #3776 Chartres Blue M nib.

[ruurd]

Montblanc is still taking their sweet time with their OBBB nib for my platinum-furnitured 149. That's just fine--I know La Couronne du Comte will ship it as soon as it comes in.

 

I already have a plan for using it to sign those wretched insurance forms that give you a tiny space about an inch long to sign your name. I'll just use the OBBB over the bottom third of the page with the most outrageous ink I can think of. Miserable bastards.

 

 

Oh them! They're really nice people. One of the guys told me it was sort of a hobby that ran out of hand. Great guys!

Faber Castell Ambition Opart Water Lily, Pilot Retropop in Turquoise, Platinum 3776 Chartres Blue. It's my birthday and I treated myself and I'm getting nice treats from family.

[MercianScribe]

I fulfilled my promise to myself and stopped buying pens.

 

So I'm just waiting for a red ripple/woodgrain (I don't think it made up its mind) Typhoo Tea, a Watermans 502, a Watermans 12 PSF, and a Mari nib for an Osmiroid 65/75.

[praxim]

A broken Onoto 6233 with the aim of achieving repair. If successful then (having one already) I will resell at cost to put another excellent pen back into circulation.

Happy birthday, Heldin. Nice treats indeed.

I thought that I might share with you a new addition to my flock which arrived today. This is my NOS bordeaux Waterman Gentleman fountain pen with a smooth broad nib.

 

 

The nib point measures 1 mm from the back.

 

 

Looking a the nib from an angle at the side

 

 

or fully at the side

 

 

as well as from the back (above), you can see how nice the writing surface for the nib is. The nib is a smooth-writer which provide nice variation in lines -- not too wet, but providing a nice amount of ink, and never dry.

 

This new addition was definitely worth the wait! : )
