A TWSBI 540 ROC

 

 

My second Jinhao 159 - such superb value (once a finer nib is installed) - need a spare just in case they vanish off of the market.

 

 

I just received my first one today and am well-impressed. However, between the broad nib and small converter I'm not sure I even got two pages of writing from my first fill.

My Lamy 2K is somewhere between here and the Phoenix sorting facility. (Actually, I suspect that at this moment it is at the Omaha sorting facility, in which case it is not between here and Phoenix BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.)

I'm waiting for a Levenger True Writer (Sea Glass colors), broad nib. Well, I'm sort of waiting; I'm waiting to see if my ebay bid is the winning one. I've never done anything on ebay before, and am not sure how likely it is.

Still waiting for a Ranga eyedropper to be delivered. Last update was that it was processed at ISC (NY) on August 3rd. Going crazy because USPS hasn't updated anything wacko.gif

I won two today on the 'bay and can't wait 'til they arrive:

 

A NOS Titanium Lamy Persona & a Roberge Orbite.

 

(I believe Roberge is a high-end watch maker based in Switzerland. Their primary market is the Middle East [saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Dubai] and SE Asia [singapore, Indonesia]). Around 1997 they sold pens too.)

Today should witness the arrival of a stainless steel Sheaffer Targa. Hopefully a Sailor 1911m and Jinhao 159 will also arrive, as I'm eagerly anticipating them as well.

A 1928 Sheaffer flat top and an Arnold, both from eBay, total cost was under 40 bucks. Both are nice cream and black marble colors!

A Pilot 78G, fine nib and red body. I've been wanting to try a Japanese fine nib for a while, and this was the best price for one! It just shipped out this morning!

I'm writing an online serial thing. It's urban fantasy. And I have no idea how long it's going to run for.

A sailor 1911 medium Black with a stub nib modification, shipped Wednesday, this will be my second FP.

My first one is a lamy safari XF which is horrible. I ordered some new nibs for it yesterday.

Waiting on a Sheaffer viewpoint in translucent green at the moment.

I've just acquired a nameless touchdown filler on top of the No Nonsense calligraphy set, so I might be working on another worrisome habit...

I am waiting for a serwex piston filler. I am very curious about these Indian pens. In the same package I am also waiting a bottle of turquoise ink too :puddle:

2. A LE pen called the Imperial they made for Levenger

3. A Medium Nibbed Purple ProColor

A new to me Parker 51 Aero Cocoa. And from being restored a Sheaffer Fineline, Sheaffer Statesman Snorkel, and a Demi Parker 51 Aero Cocoa.

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry
