2017 Wishlist

[Guardy]

On the actually feasible side:

-Lamy Safari LE 2017 - Petrol (just have to wait until it comes out)

-Any pretty Wing Sung pens that pop up on my radar

-A demonstrator that's not c/c, for the sole purpose of terrifying people with Diamine Oxblood.

-Maybe a Kaweco Sport

 

On the kinda feasible side:

-Italix Captain's Commission (pretty low priority, though)

-Geha Goldschwinge (the older, pretty model - hunting for it, but little luck so far)

-Platinum Century (I'm mostly just scared of customs, hah)

-At least one reasonably colorful celluloid vintage pen with a sac-based filling system; preferably in working condition and structurally sound... anything better than that is optional

-Esterbrook J (They're all US-based and shipping and customs costs are slightly horrifying and almost the price of the pen in most cases, otherwise I'd have bought one a long time ago)

 

Broke university student with big dreams:

-Waterman Carène (crossing it off the list, because my Sheaffer Imperial satisfied all those inlaid nib cravings)

-Pilot Vanishing Point

-Pelikan M400 Tortoise Shell (white) (<- grail pen? Grail pen.) Happy Guardy is happy now!

 

Already done:

-Picasso 915

-Wing Sung 322 in red

-Faber-Castell Loom

-Hero 901 (I know it's a tacky thing, but I've been meaning to buy one for months. It's a sub-3€ pen, for crying out loud, but somehow I keep telling myself 'later'. The fact that none of my tried and true pen sources carries this one doesn't help) Finally ordered one today, halleluljah.

Lookin' good!

I thought I had already replied to this thread, but it appears I have not, so...

 

1. Pelikan M800 Renaissance Brown (already ordered)

2. Pelikan M600 (not sure which one just yet)

3. Visconti Homo Sapiens Midi Steel Age (Need to see this one in person first though. Hoping I'll see one at the Dallas Pen Show. If I like it, it will have to wait till Christmas)

 

The above brings my collection to 9. I have a self-imposed limit of 10, so it's going to get a lot harder to decide what I buy next. I would still like a classic black and gold style...maybe a Sailor or Platinum. But I've also been toying with the idea of a Pilot 743 with the Falcon nib...hard choices.
