What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2017

[TheRealMikeDr]

I bought myself an early Birthday present (2 weeks away) and have a 1980's Montblanc 149 headed my way - due to arrive in a week or so.

I'm awaiting a FPR Jaipur in black with a flex nib, a FPR Guru in demo/blue cap with a stub, anything else thrown into that box, a pastel green and neutral Hero Safari knock off with a fine nib, a real Lamy Safari Dark Lilac with 1.1i nib, and finally a real Lamy Safari Pink with an A nib for my 8 year old daughter's first pen.

An unexpected win for a Parker 51 set.....must stop looking

Nothing as i keep talking myself out of buying another pen.

Just got an early surprise from Japan in the mail a couple days ago that I thought wouldn't be due for a while yet - a black Pilot Lucina with a medium nib. Snagged it on Amazon for far better price than what I've seen others getting it for. This is my first traditional gold-trimmed, black fountain pen; freshly inked with Noodlers Bulletproof Black. There's something about a gold nib lightly stained in black ink... And that screw cap!

I just ordered my second fountain pen this morning. A JinHao X450 for $2.47. Now I have to wait for the slow boat from China to South Africa.

This lovely arrived about 10 minutes ago....

[Zookie]

A couple of Yiren 359 pens, and a Platinum zero shen pencil.

[chromantic]

Jinhao 1200, the silver body/gold clip one. I only hope it doesn't weigh a ton.

Brian Edison sent me this pic of my newly completed Pearl in tortoise lucite, black ebonite section, eyedropper, 1.1mm stub gold nib. Should be here tomorrow.

Sweet! These MBs are such great writers.

Yup! And this one is following it on its way, a 252 from the 50s

[juulz]

A Chartres Blue Platinum 3776 was last seen in New York...

A black/rhodium Sailor Pro Gear Classic with a .6mm cursive italic nib.

A Lamy CP-1 and a bottle of Graf Von Faber-Castell Moss Green ink that I ordered from La Couronne du Comte at the beginning of December as a Christmas gift for my son. A month and a half later, it's still MIA, and La Couronne has no clue where it is.

Well, the Estie with the 9556 nib came today (after spending several days bouncing around different departments (which strangely have different zip codes, even though I suspect that it's all the same building!) at the USPS regional sort facility. And it turns out to befull size J (at that price I was really expecting it was going to be an SJ). Even better, the sac still seems to have some play in it.

A Pilot Custom 91 with a SFM nib, two Parker 51s and a couple of Parker 45s in interesting colours.

A Lamy 2000 with a medium nib. I've been contemplating getting this pen for a long time and finally made the decision last night and ordered it online.

 

It will be my first pen with a gold nib (and first pen purchase over 100 euros).

 

Lamy 2000 here too... But with an OBB nib.. And under 100€

Franklin Christoph 66 Stabilis in Ice with an EF nib.

 

Just picked it up from my PO Box today. Totally in love with it, already!

 

I also recently got a Diplomat Soft Touch as a knockabout pen. It's taking a ride in my regular sized Midori Traveler while my Ohto Tasche gets a much-deserved break.

Oh--and I'm waiting for a Jinhao x750 that's blue marble swirly. I bought it solely to test out a big sample of BSB that I got from (I think) Vanness.
