Pelikan 400NN Brown Tortoise. My second pen of the year and the first I've purchased from Ebay. It will take a time to arrive.

My first was an Omas Milord Old Style in February, but I couldn't try it yet because I'm waiting on the cartridges (from Ebay too).

All my pens have arrived. Kaweco sport arts (aksehir, granit, samba), stylochap, two Bayard Excelsiors.

 

Ridiculous - I feel quite sad. I have nothing left to look forward to.

 

(On the other hand of course I have three pens to do some repairs on, and three pens to ink up and have fun with)

[csacks]

A Pelikan 625 red, with M nib, coming from the UK. This time I ask to send it to my office, so my kids will not take to a hospital for metal disorders.

Should be here between Apr 10 and May 17th. Yes, that kind of exactitude.

[Wish]

A Wahl-Eversharp Doric Junior. Been tracking the package compulsively these days and if it's accurate, the postman should arrive any day now

[jsolares]

Two 149 from ebay, hopefully the pistons work fine as indicated, MB prices on ebay have been weird, didn't win a couple of 146 that went for more than the 2 149 i did snag

Just ordered a TWSBI Vac 700 to compliment my 580. I decided to go for the 1.1 mm stub, the same as on the 580. As I was ordering from Goulet and live in Iceland I decided to throw in a Noodler's Konrad Demonstrator (already have one in dark grey) and some Noodler's Turquoise. To round things out I bought one of the $2 Noodler's nibs thinking I might try and fit the flexy one on the Vac. Let's see how that turns out.

Waiting on a whole collection of bits of pieces - mainly quirky vintage things seeing as I have figured out I can try out more interesting and different things with a bit of ebay trawling on less expensive items than by buying one or two big things.

Parker 45 ballpoint with Coca Cola advertising on the clip and 2 Parker Pen leather pen cases.

Just received a Parker advertising Calendar Jotter with the Mr.Pibb trademark on it.

Nice! Vintage Pelikans are a joy to write with and 400NN is a wonderful model, I'm sure you'll love it. Happy writing!

A Pelikan 150 in a gift box and a Pelikan 250 featuring the signature of Ramon Herzog, last president of the DDR. I wanted to fill in some numbers between 100, 120, 130, 140, 250 and 400.

I received notice that my Pelikan m400 is on the way. What ink to try first? I am thinking, Diamine Majestic Blue, but open to suggestions.

 

It arrived! $266.00 is a pretty good price for a new Pelikan m400, but for that much I ought to have found a general use pen that I can put in my shirt pocket and use throughout the day in writing and editing text, taking notes, and signing. I have perused the entries on ink preferences. There seems to be wide ranging opinions about which inks are most and least compatible with the m400. Over the next few weeks, I will be trying out a few inks and choices of paper, and learning whether I have made a good purchase.

Matte Gold/Lizard Pilot Metropolitan. Should arrive today. I know, it's a $15 pen, but I'm excited to see if this pen performs as well as described in the many reviews I read.

[Tasmith]

Monteverde Invincia Stylus in matte black, with a fine nib and 1.1mm stub nib. Ordered an extra Monteverde threaded converter along with Peilkan 4001 cartridges in Royal Blue and Brilliant Black.

[Shyner]

Awaiting my newly restored Esterbrook - an excavated treasure give to me by a friend, and some funky glittery Jinhao from the Bay.

[da vinci]

A Pelikan m200 with an ef nib with an italic grind. Am being enticed by fine stubs and italics to use in my hobonichi planner but i am not convinced that this purchased will have a happy ending!

Vintage Pilot Capless CL-300

[hypnostene]

Waiting for a Parson's Italix Essential; medium italic nib. I am really excited!

[shuuemura]

Hakase! Maybe a C.E. Levi pen too, as soon as my order is finalised!
