My Pelikan M205 Aquamarine and my pelikan Mc110 Calligraphy set just shipped from Germany. In the same order I bought another gold plated IB nib and a gold plated 1.5mm italic nib, both M200 sized. I actually went to that seller to buy nibs and ended up adding a couple of pens to justify the international postage. It’s my saving money with my creative per pen math that I’m going to blame here.

So much for my "stay away from AliExpress" intention!

 

Three Majohn pens are heading my way

  • a C2 eyedropper, pale purple demonstrator
  • a Q2 "cute mini" clear demonstrator
  • a p136, sadly not a demonstrator; got this one with the OEM stub and ordered the EF/F/M nib units for it

@mizgeorge I think it’s only a matter of time before I get one. I kind of want to get it from Vanness Pens because they sell the color match converters to the Kaweco inks.

  The “stay away from Aliexpress” intention is so hard to follow through with, as is the “stop looking at eBay intention” for me.

That stuff sneaks up on a person...I got a year to go.

 

This year I thought I was a young man of only 73, until I found out the year before last was real, real boring and I was 75.

 

 

In I have some 15 pens needing repair, I don't think I'll buy any pens.........but there will of course be some live auction pens.....that I don't need.

Of course I've not needed a pen in 12 years.:wallbash:

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

Oh right. There's a Levenger True Writer coming from an eBay auction buy. Possibly it'll be here today. Thanks for reminding me 😆

I’m waiting on a navy Parker 45. The listing was very vague, and the pictures blurry, so that’s what I know.  Should be here on Tuesday.

Ooh, @lascosas- that 18111 is gorgeous! Did it come with a 14k nib, or did you swap it in? ¡Que lindura!
