What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[topaz]

I should get my TWSBI 540 XF today. I need a FINE writer with good capacity for work and the Lamy isn't quite fine enough.

[mcolen]

A Conway Stewart 58 in the very beautiful Tiger's Eye pattern. My first English pen.

 

I am also waiting for my second Nakaya - a decapod in Heka Tamenuri...but I think I actually have to send the payment before the pen arrives....so, I am still waiting. May be waiting for awhile....

[Flake]

man you guys are putting my measly green lamy to shame.

 

that 1904 thing...holy cow.

[negirl]

I'm also waiting for an apple green Lamy Safari. It'll join the other three I have. They are perfect for my wallet and my lifestyle:)!

I am waiting for my first Pilot Vanishing Point. I got the brown one with rhodium trim and a rhodium plated extra-fine nib. I expect the nib to be far finer than anything I have used before as it is my first extra-fine... never mind the fact that it is Asian!

 

I also ordered a bottle of Namiki Black ink and a single pen pouch to protect my new pen!

 

I can hardly contain my excitement. I am so very curious about how smooth such a fine nib can be! If it satisfies me then it shall become my new workhorse pen replacing my Lamy Safari (F).

I'm waiting on a Baoer "Skywalker" and a Bookworm 675

[jra81]

A Reform 1745 and a Jinhao 159 for inexpensive fun!

 

You will like that first one, trust me I´ve got four of them. Only one is inked, the others are backups.

 

Mailman (=girl in this case) brought me today a platinum plaisir + conv. and two bottles of black ink.

 

Edit. typo.

[palendra]

A handful of cheap chinese pens to fiddle with. Unfortunately, I've still got a while to wait.

[dcpritch]

I'm also waiting on a Fountainbel Demonstrator - No. 09 of 60 - with a Ti nib. Francis said shipping in early June; I can only hope!

 

Also on the way:

Soennecken 307 with a very flexible OBB nib

Montblanc 234 1/2 G with a BB nib

Stipula Isola Lipari with a 1.1mm stub by John Sorowka

 

I'm cutting myself off from pen purchases for awhile, but I can't stop looking at the Classifieds! What to do?

 

Markiv - that looks like a great Ford pen you have there, and I'm impressed you know what to do with all those parts.

I'm waiting on a Baoer "Skywalker" ...

 

Me too. It was an impulse buy on eBay yesterday.

 

Until it arrives I will just have to suffer with this brand new Jinhao Century Mk. 2 that I received last week.

A green lamy safari (F) + 1.1 nib

Jinhao X450

Duke 116 Carbon Fibre

Kaigelu 316

Decided to jump head first into this new hobby. Already regretting my first buy (Parker Vector) which got me into this mess in the first place xd

[adrianb1066]

Blue Lamy Al-Star Medium Nib - Should arrive tomorrow (crosses fingers/knocks wood)

[goldiesdad]

Today I have 6 in transit and 3 at the pen doctors office ....

[whitedot]

My first Parker 51, from Angiolini. Out of curiosity.

[Niagara Falls]

Pelikan M805 black-silver, found in Ebay, almost mint for "little" money...

[todayilearned]

My Lamy Safari had an issue so I sent it back. Ordered a TWSBI 540 Diamond in Charcoal instead... really hoping this one doesn't have an issue otherwise I might be leaving the FP hobby before it even begins.

[dex138]

A Parker Vector and a Sheaffer Sentinel, both stainless steel and chrome trimmed..... oh, and two Rotring New Orleans FP/BP sets, one in matte black, NOS and unopened, and the other in stainless steel.

[dogpoet]

A Chelpark Antic eyedropper. I'm told those are rather good for cheap Indian eyedroppers, so I'll be interested to try that one out.
