What Pen Are You Waiting For 2019

[Inky-Republic]

Two Leonardo Momento Zeros - one in Positano and the other in Red Marbled - both with stub nibs. They should be here by the end of the week.

 

 

Wow - very attractive piece of writing equipment I must say, and the pen gets excellent reviews for performance to boot! I also note that replacement/alternative nibs are available at very reasonable prices and if they only offered a flex nib, I'd buy one of these at the drop of a hat! Both the colour options you've chosen are dazzling, but I also like the "Horn" and "Sea Stone" colour options too. I can feel a rush of blood coming on for sure!

Well, I exceeded my February allowance ;(

 

Expected this week:

 

* Pelikan M800 Renaissance Brown (broad)

* Pelikan M800 Burnt Orange (broad)

* Pilot Custom 743 with FA nib. "uber-feeds" from flexiblenib.com (2 and 3 slit ebonite) are already here and waiting for the pen.

 

* two auctions ending today. I almost wish I don't win them... My wallet is screaming.

Visconti Medici Rose Gold from Marco at Novelli.

Had been planning on an extra fine, Platinum PTL-5000 later this month but a fine nib one came up on Amazon for under £30 so I jumped on it.

 

Looks like it's coming from Japan (EU was heavily implied but I wasn't born yesterday), so will have a long wait and some customs fees to pay but it's still quite the bargain.

Aurora Ipsilon Sterling/Black EF (I did NOT make the mistake of ordering italic -- based on a sample size of two, Aurora italics are just toooooooo sharp-edged for comfort).

Fine Pilot Kakuno Demonstrator, from Hong Kong...so I have quite the wait.

 

Couldn't not add at least one "smiley nib" pen to my modest and humble collection!

A Sheaffer Balance.

Noodler's Ahab - Yellow (to add to my yellow pen collection).

 

 

UPDATE: Arrived, and has been placed in a small bag of baking powder where it will stay for about 3 wks to remove the odor. All of my Ahabs have received the same treatment, and they are all odor-free.

Hi,

 

a green marpled Mabie Todd Swan with late #4 H nib to be restored:

The nib is bent and I expect the sac to be defective as usual...

 

Best

Escape from New York!

 

I'm getting a pre-owned Montblanc 149 from Europe... it took 2 days to get to New York, 2 days to get out of Customs, and now 4 days its been "in transit" at the Queens distribution center. Very discouraging.

[mallymal1]

Been on a Lamy binge, of late. Now have a yellow safari, a vista, and an ocean blue al-star, on the way.

The Pacific is a lovely colour.
