What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[Craig Forsyth]

I was given some money for my birthday recently and, rather than spend it on one mid-range pen, I decided to experiment with a few Chinese pens. I’ve heard and read mixed reviews, so I’m very keen to get my hands on these and give them a test drive. I’m waiting for the following:

 

Wing Sung 01 porcelain with landscape design

Jinhao 500 brown marble

Jinhao 500 red marble

Duke D2-1 gold

Jinhao 159

Jinhao 750 milk white

 

**Must remember to clean them thoroughly first**

The Duke arrived yesterday.

Thought I'd use it to write a quick first impression.

And I did remember to give it the soapy water treatment before its first fill.

Not so much in the mail, but I will hopefully be picking up my first 149 from a fellow fpn member in the next couple of hours.

It got here! Parker 75 Sterling Silver Cisele xf nib, man is it fine! In the mean time I found the RB and MP to go with it!

I am waiting for the one that hasn't arrived yet. All three of them.

Always great pictures to enjoy in this thread!

I'm still waiting for the Nakaya, but that comes in a few months, so not in the mail yet. Meanwhile I'm waiting for two more No Nonsense pens with M and F italic nibs. My favourite daily writers, those pens.

A Sheaffer touchdown (as it appears) having a 14K Nib 33, per the Fleabay listing...

 

It is a pretty green color...

[RMN]

Not by mail...

But heading off to the Tilburg Penshow I expect a Montegrappa Ducale waiting for me, as well as a Sheaffer Taranis.

And a Cd'A RNX316PVD (sounds like the newest TV, but is a FP.)

And I hope to see an Edison Collier there too......

 

And who knows what more the show brings....

Randy, that nib! My Wearever nib is a piece of strash (steel and trash together)- just awful. Lovely looking pen. Enjoy it.

Was waiting for this Wearever for parts... but WOW... waaaaay too nice for parts. Love the colors, pen is in great shape and it has a 14KT nib. Can't wait to tear into this one! Not bad for under $15 shipped

Guider Ebonite, Kevin is having another sale....

[tutelman]

Hi all.

 

I just won a Fuliwen 830 in blue celluloid (?) with a 14K nib on the 'Bay.

[setriode]

A Deccan Advocate, a Serwex with a flex nib from Kevin of FPR and a Parson's Essential with a medi italic nib from Mr Pen.

A Guider Zimbo Fountain Pen, mottled brown, from Fountain Pen Revolution.

A Burgundy Parker "51" Special with a juicy fine-medium nib...can't wait!

[lahlahlaw]

The USPS site says my Homo Sapiens Bronze was delivered this morning, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME AND RIP THE PACKAGE OPEN!!!

[F104]

The USPS site says my time of waiting is not yet up.

 

My pens are somewhere between San Francisco and here. Wherever here is.

 

On the other hand, they can't track a book from Amazon that shipped on the 29th, with a "guaranteed" delivery on the 1st, and a much shorter path to follow than the pens, so...

 

It could be worse.

Yesterday I received my Omas Milord Bronze Arco. AWESOME PEN!

 

Im waiting for:

 

Visconti Opera Crystal

Aurora 88P Nikargenta

Aurora Talentum

A couple Sheaffer snorkels

Pelikan 400nn

Its gonna be a good month :-)
