Today, my beautiful and much undervalued Moonman M2. If this pen had Opus (or a well known brand) written on it, it could easily be sold for five times the price I paid - $15.99 delivered.

The pen has never burped, dry started or let me down in any way. The nib is a stunning EF with a hint of feedback and it's one of the "chosen" ones that sits out on the desk all day.

 

I was playing around with writing words and creating patterns from them. I liked the result and thought I'd share :)

Sheaffer Snorkel Valiant. This is a "Frankenpen" I pieced together and restored from two broken Snorkels. It was my first successful Snorkel restoration. It has a super super smooth and slightly wet broad nib.

Thank you. So much :wub:

My wife and children think it looks really agressive, like barbed wire. :mellow: It's actually a prayer :(

I wrote some words, three times on the same line, and kept going until I ran out of words.

 

I love it and have stuck it up on display :)

@Tas, it is beautiful. Yes, it does look a bit like barb wire, but then I'm sure there would have been actual barb wire used in more than one objets d'art exhibited in museums of modern art somewhere around the globe. :)

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

I received my NOS Sheaffer Snorkel desk pen today. The pen is essentially a brown Snorkel Admiral with the gold tone 14K nib. I will do a review of the pen this week, as their seems to be very little information about this model in the pen review section.

What an outstanding specimen of a real exotic beast! Wonderful. So hard to believe it was NOS! Lucky you!
