What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[discopig]

My Namiki Falcon is finally out for delivery, going to arrive here today.

A Parker 51 Special with a Medium nib. Can't wait, it's my first!

Ok, so I made it 12 days into 2014 without a pen purchase. Everything else pen related, yes, but until today...

 

Waiting for some Sheaffer schools pens with firm nibs from Pendemonium's midnight madness sale.

pre-97 Pelikan M150 black on black.

On its way from Japan, a tidy looking 30's eyedropper with shutoff valve. My first! The tines looked long enough to be potentially interesting too, so fingers crossed there's a touch of flex there.

Just got it last night, another Parker 45. A nice new old stock one in Turquoise Blue with the gold trim. For the price, I couldn't resist. It has the accountant version of the nib too, and I think only one of my other 45s have an A nib. Some recent 45s had been going for quite a lot on the 'Bay, it was nice to snag another perfect one for about $16 shipped.

Right now the only thing I'm waiting for is a TWSBI ROC 540 with a stub nib. Very excited to receive it!

An Aurora 88 and a Sailor Pro Gear. The 88 has been my grail pen for quite some time...pretty pumped!

[J English Smith]

Wow, these carrying pouches are cool.....

Love the TV spots. All of the kids with the Pelikanos look so darn happy... The dual-cartridge feature is nicely executed in this model...

An Onoto Manga Classic Tortoiseshell - recieved the tracking information today. Very excited about this one as it is a 'special' celebration pen.

I've never thought of getting a cap turned for a capless eBay find. Do you know how much a pen turner charges for just a cap? Or, do you do it yourself?

When I first got interested in fountain pens I told to myself there's no way I am going to buy a chinese pen. I am now waiting for a white Jinhao X750 which I got from ebay for $4 including P&P. And I must say I am pretty excited.

I can turn something if I have to; the problem being that I have a woodworking lathe instead of a precision machine lathe.

 

I've no idea how much it will cost. If it's too high, I'll buy some vulcanite stock from a pipe-maker's supply-house and turn a friction fit cap myself. I'd prefer to get one made so it will screw on with the pen threads and have a pocket clip. (Again, Delta 4-something antique vs a metal lathe.)

Charcoal Safari. Not for me, but my manfriend's first FP! I'm quite excited for him. :-)

Pilot Falcon, rhodium trim, soft extra-fine nib. And soon the2013 Edison Nouveau Premiere LE should be taking wing--or wheel or whatever the mail travels by in that instance--soon.

I posted a WTB ad in the classifieds and had a few bites. Good luck on the hunt, it's a beautiful pen!
