What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[discopig]

I'm waiting on an Osmiroid Sketch nib NOS (the ones with actual iridium tipping and an overfeed, Leigh Reyes talks a bit about them: http://www.leighreyes.com/?p=2519 http://www.leighreyes.com/?p=2705). I'm actually pretty happy about this find, I was looking for one of those sketch nibs for my Esterbrook and they are very rarely available on ebay. Finding one that also happens to be NOS is just great.

 

Also still waiting on that Waterman ringtop, Waterman 52 1/2v and Eversharp Skyline.

I´m awaiting the return of my Pelikan M800 from John Sorowka.

I purchased a medium.nib six months ago, and have been somewhat underwhelmed by it´s performance, so following a short mail-correspondance with Mr. Sorowka, I shipped it off to get it re-ground to a cursive italic instead.

I can´t wait to get it back...

Waiting on a 1930s celluloid Waterman in Grey from the Bay.

Two will be Mediums & 1 Fine. I'm left handed and this will be my first Japanese Fine.

Sadly, I'm still waiting for these... Looks like they won't arrive before my 2 week trip to NZ, as I leave in a week. Very disappointed.

A Monteverde Prima Black I purchased from the classifieds here. Hopefully it'll be here late this week, and a Jinhao X450 from JustWrite which should come in monday/tuesday.

I just won this on ebay from Peter Twydle, the Fountain Pen Wizard out of the UK!

It's a Konigstuhl in lapis lazuli and I don't know anything about it other than what Mr. Twydle wrote in his description:

 

This is one of the more obscure fountain pens that I am offering over the next few weeks. This is a Konigstuhl button-fill fountain pen in Lapis Lazuli with a ring clip. Konigstuhl literally means 'King Chair' but it isn't in the dictionery [sic] so I assume it to mean something like 'Throne', though I expect some of my German friends to correct me on this. It has a 14ct gold Warranted nib with a medium point.

I won a Pelikan pen on eBay from Canada that I suspect is a 200, used, nib size maybe M. The seller didn't seem to know much about it other than it worked. I have my fingers crossed that it is in good shape but I paid little enough that I can have the nib fixed if necessary. Is this a 200, do you think?

Waiting for a fine nibbed Stipula Tuscan Dreams in brown.

[zaddick]

Two items in the mail which should arrive next week:

 

- Rose gold Visconti Chatterly Ripple BB back from MikeItWork tuning

 

- Red Visconti Manhattan F NOS from eBay. Love the stacked celluloid

 

Almost makes up for all the early morning conference calls coming up.

A yellow Pelikan M205 highlighter fountain pen

[setriode]

Pelikan M200 in grey marble with an OM nib. Unused new old stock at a correct price.

[erpe]

A Delta Unica f is coming. Of course I had to pick a brown because it was the only color not in stock, always seems to be that way.

[Vikhalla]

Just ordered a Franklin-Christoph Model 27 in Radiant Red with a Musuyama Steel Med Italic nib.

 

Also picked up one of their Firma Flex journals to go with it.

My second awesome pen of the weekend, the first being the lapis lazuli Konigstuhl.

This is a circa 1927 Bayard in Red Ripple with a dragonfly embellishment on the cap. Is it possible to love a pen so?

Oh, I spotted that on the Sunday fleabay listing earlier today. Lovely looking pen!

Just snagged a Conway Stewart 15 in mottled blue!! Had one just like it years ago as an undergrad.

[CaptainBA]

I'm waiting on a blue or black Parker 45 with a medium nib. My first vintage pen. I'm looking forward to learning how to fix it up so it's in working condition again!

When it looks like that, yes. Yes, it is.

What a great looking pen - the detail on the clip is very intricate.

 

Hope to see more info when you receive it...
