2 Reform 1745 pens (6,02 € total incl. shipping )

A LAMY CP1 in platinum trim.

 

Here's the story.

 

Told my girl (Laurie) what I wanted for Christmas. A black CP1 with an extra fine nib. Always wanted to try one and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. It's modestly priced which made it appropriate to ask for. I suggested she contact Pam Braun as she's local and has great prices.

 

Came home the other night and Laurie greets me with "Ho Ho Ho" and a package. She says, "I don't know if you'll want this one so I have to show it to you".

 

I opened it up, saw the LAMY box, opened that - to find a PLATINUM CP1! What a gorgeous pen! I held it in my hand and it felt wonderful - fits just right.

 

She had contacted Pam and somehow my request for the modest black CP1 had been translated into the platinum model (the one with the cool two-tone nib). Pam was kind enough to personally drop it off at Laurie's workplace.

 

Of course I want it.

 

But, I had to put it back in it's box so Laurie could put it away for Christmas. Now I have to wait for it.

 

Hope I can forget that it's already here!

I sent five pens to Michael Masuyama for customization and/or repair. I am hoping to get them back next week... waiting very eagerly.

Won a Sailor PG 21K M nib off ebay, today morning, for a friend who is afraid of buying pens from there. Waiting for it to be shipped.

I've been holding back and vehemently testing and tweaking all of my pens to give me optimum pleasure for the past year. So, of course I just had a break down and went nuts for a few new pens to enhance my addictive nature.

 

Pelikan M205 Black & White Wedding Set with spare M400 EF and B nibs which I shall promptly turn into a xxxf full flex nib and a .9 mm Italic/xxxf double point nib, my two most favorite nib styles.

 

Stipula Model T with a titanium nib I shall test to see if it can be reworked to a xxxf full flex as I have only worked with titanium tubing this will be my first attempt with a titanium nib.

 

Lamy A-Star Black Purple with a medium nib that will be reworked to a .6 mm Italic/xxxf nib, my favorite nib for a Safari or Al-Star.

 

Sailor Sapporo Black barrel with Red cap and a 14k Fine nib that will be reworked to a xxxf full flex, my favorite nib style of all time.

 

Can you see my underlying desires when it comes to my pens? I love to desecrate my nibs for my own perverse penmanship pleasures.

Two Conway Stewart 85Ls, both from Andrew Gray at Old Post Office Pens. One is a newie, a burgundy example with a flexible medium and a repair I sent him on Friday, my Blue with gold streaks with a semi-flex medium which is blobbing like madman, and needs a new sac.
