I'm waiting for my first Esterbrook J.

 

I've been wanting to get one of these. I like the ease of changing nibs rather than buying more of the same model, but I somehow think I'll still prefer getting more esties than nibs...

Nervous? No, I'm just thinking...

Finally have something to post here!

 

I'm now waiting for my Sheaffer Royal Selangor Bamboo pen. Saw it on eBay for $189, made a somewhat lower offer which was accepted, and took the plunge. I'm a little apprehensive (as I normally am after a cash outlay) as the description says it's a fine nib, but the pics show a medium. If the pics are wrong, I'm not sure which of the three styles of nib I've heard have appeared on this pen I'll be getting. Won't care much, really, as long as it's a fine.

 

Should add that I'm also waiting for a batch of 10 Lambitou pocket "missile" pens, which I'll use for giveaways and for "Hey, can I borrow your pen for a minute?"

Currently awaiting a Parker Vacumatic Major purchased from a FPN member. Looks soooo sweet, and it will make me feel better about never inking my Imperial Vac!
