What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

A pair of NOS Lamy 99 from Karl Barndt at PointyThings (one's a gift for my daughter... shh, don't tell!).

I just ordered a Schneider ID in black, hoping that it is a more "serious" pen to bring to business meetings than my current Schneider BASE and a Woerther Compact. The last one I was intrigued by the design and could not resist adding to cart Hope it is a good replacement to my leaking Faber Castell Ambition when travelling by plane.

A cracked ice celluloid medium steel nib from Worcester pens with a traditional black pear on the cap. Being born and bred in Worcestershire I couldn't resist.

Congratulations! That's an awesome choice for a first pen!

 

As for myself...a $17.84 aero 51 from ebay. The photos looked nice - I hope it works when it gets here.

My second black and gold Geha 790 , this one with a rare OEF 14k nib. I expect it to be Semi-flex, most of the top of the line German pens of the late '50's early '60s are. It was then Geha's top of the line.

 

I have a very nice wet writing 790 with semi-flex 14 k KM nib, that is in my top five nibs, of say 20 semi-flex nibs.

 

Normally I don't buy the exact same model and color of a pen, how ever it is an Oblique Extra Fine.

And I'm having a lot of fun with my 400NN's OF. So I needed the 'nib'. It is the first OEF, I'd noticed, since getting my Geha 790 @ 1 1/2 years ago. It is @ the same size as a 400 Sovereign.

As far as I can remember, it is the first OEF (semi-flex) I have seen at all.

A Parker 75 Cisele.

The best balanced metal pen I've ever owned...a true classic. Perfect posted balance.

 

It will take a squeeze filler, a converter or a cartridge. So that was ahead of it's self. Converters were a thing of the future when I bought mine, @ '70.

Box and instructions landed some where...in that I didn't know I needed it....and I'd not read the instructions well, or it left no impression, that it could take a cartridge. I thought the squeeze filler great. Still do.
