What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[discopig]

Only waiting for an ItaliFine 0.9mm nib unit for my Pilot VP, from a trade.

I am embarrassed at every one of my pics I will re do them so that they are nicer

Hey, you were excited about receiving those beautys, and just made a quick pic and posted them, happens all the time here on the forum.

 

Why not take the time to make some real nice pics, especially of the Delta and make a small review of it? That's a pen we don't see too often here....

My first Pelikan, an early 90's M200 striped green tortoise. Can't wait

I decided I'd rather get a bunch of different nibs than a bunch of pens, and since the Lamy nibs are relatively cheap, I've got a set of every size Lamy nibs on the way (the three italics will come later as Goulet is currently out of stock). I also went ahead and got the LE Al-Star to swap the nibs around on. I have two Al-Stars already, but I use them every day at work, and because of my students' cheap paper, I have no choice but to always have extra fine nibs on those. I'm really looking forward to seeing whether or not I like writing in broad.

 

Eventually I'd like every size nib unit for the Vanishing Point as well, but that is quite a bit more expensive, so maybe I'll get one a year for a while starting next year.

Moonraker your avatar looks like a golden trout,... a beautiful fish I have yet to catch.

 

I'm hoping that a stubbier version of the JoWo 18K 1.1 will arrive soon from sunny California. Like this.........

The re-worked 18K stub just arrived from Classic FP (no affiliation).

Writing with this slightly springy custom stub is pure joy.

Set up to be more on the wet side, this nib will serve my drier ferrogallic or Pelikan inks.

Ended up cancelling it even though it was a great deal no point in buying a pen when I don't have the pen bug.

It was a nice weekend for me on the Bay! I will take delivery sometime this week of a 1930s Sheaffer Jr. in silver/gray/red celluloid, Sheaffer Lifetime Balance in Marine green with military clip, and a 1948 Parker 51 Vac in Dove Gray with lustraloy cap and gold filled blue diamond clip.

Pilot Custom Heritage 91, black, FM nib. Probably one of the grail pens after I tried (and mistakenly sold) a CH91 in M.

I just noticed how poor the picture quality was in these pics, so I deleted them.

A TWSBI classic in Burgundy with 1.1 stub is on its way from the factory and should go on its way to me when my supplier receives shipment later this week. This afternoon I will bother Mr. Pen for an amber Parson's essential with medium stub.

Thanx, RMN. I guess I need to take pics in a better lighting. I'm using an IPhone 5s and an iPad mini with retina display. I'm sure there are several members who take pics with these very same things, but theirs looks better than mine.
