What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2017

3 Wing Sung 3008, this time with China Post Registered since I'm pretty sure that the 3008 I ordered almost 2 months from ebay with the untracked shipping has been lost. /sigh/

I've just ordered a Chatres Blue Platinum Century 3776 as a Japanese import via Amazon. At a price of less than £60, I couldn't resist it!

Santini Italia, Colors collection, Shanghai.

 

I bought a Santini last week and liked it so did the obvious and bought another one.

 

In terms of the nib it is like buying an Aurora at half price but of course you do not get Aurora’s excellent piston filling system and as yet I have no longer term information on their quality (longevity). They look to be well enough made.

A rare Nettuno Limited Edition the Deus Maris

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Two Wing Sung 3008 - one silver and one blue - both EF.

 

I already have the green with a fine nib, bought some months ago, and the pink with EF, which arrived yesterday. I was waiting to see if I liked the EF better than the fine before ordering any others. Clearly the EF won, but it was a close call.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

Excellent pen! Mine has to be one of my tops with a sf nib, filled with Iroshizuku Yama-Budo. :P

...The history, culture and sophistication; the rich, aesthetic beauty; the indulgent, ritualistic sensations of unscrewing the cap and filling from a bottle of ink; the ambient scratch of the ink-stained nib on fine paper; A noble instrument, descendant from a line of ever-refined tools, and the luster of writing,
with a charge from over several millennia of continuing the art of recording man's life.

Didn't think this day would come - at least so soon - but I finally broke through my price threshold and acquired one of my grail pens from GouletPens - an Edison Collier in Burnished Gold with a fine steel TT nib. It goes perfectly with my set of Italian leather journals and the nib works very well with Noodler's black ink.

Big shout out to Edison Pen Co. for the exquisite craftsmanship!

Talking about grail pens: I think my grail pens now are the Sailor ones: The Realo is the ‘accessible grail’ and the King of Pens is ‘grail grail’ pen.

 

One day.

 

I am still into Chinese and Indian ones, mine top ones are around USD $ 50.

Finally decided to get pen, that I have been wanting for long time. Pilot Vanishing point. I was thinking to get all black some day, but I found they had metallic green version! (not found in europe btw) So I just had to get. I love extra fine nibs, but this was only avaible in F, so I go with that. If it isn't fine enough, I have to try hunt black EF nib somewhere. This really got expensive, is long wait (pens comes from usa), but it is something that I really want.

Montegrappa Fortuna in teak. Been working on this pen for a while now. Hoping for big things! Also a Monteverde Intima rollerball in volcano gray that I'm hoping to convert to a fountain pen.

Another Black/Burgundy M150 coming (this will be my 3rd). Like ibz's Aion, an impulse buy.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.
