What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

Waiting on a Conklin Endura w/18K nib. Not sure about this one - is it part of an older re-release? I can't seem to find it among the most recent:

Pelikan M605 in black and silver EF. I'm still waiting to find a good deal on the M605 in blue stripe, but I got the M605 in black for significantly less than $200 new so I couldn't pass it up. I've been intending on getting a plain black and silver pen and couldn't decide who I'd get it from. Sailor has a rhodium 1911 coming out next spring, so I thought maybe I'd wait. There's also Pilot's Custom 912. But getting an M605 under $200 made it a no brainer decision.

 

So I will be starting a flock of Pelikans very soon.

Will be receiving a Visconti Gold Ripple in a few days. Bought and sold things from estate sales and it turns out that I will be getting it for almost free.

Namiki/Pilot Vanishing Point 2014 copper.

 

From tracking info I see that it has arrived in-country on Monday afternoon but the data has not updated or it is still sitting at the airport...

A TWSBI Micarta with a medium italic custom grind nib by a local nibmeister. :)

I hope you love it. I had wanted one for quite awhile but had lost touch with the fp community for awhile and didn't find out it was to be discontinued until it was almost too late. I hated to spend the money but bought one of the last few available from the TWSBI site and I am glad I did because I have only seen one turn up on the secondary market and the only online sources I have seen that still have them are overseas so the shipping would add unacceptably to the higher than domestic price.

 

I bought a clipless with a medium nib (about all that was left) and while I didn't send it to a nibmeister I did buy a Goulet 1.1 stub that has taken up residence in it. It has quickly become one of favorite pens - I even reach for it more than my P51s or my 149. My only TWSBI is a joy :)

Grace and Peace are already yours because God is the Creator of all of life and Jesus Christ the Redeemer of each and every life.

I love it even with the factory nib. It's one of my favorites, so I was kinda pining away for it while it was with the nibmeister. I'm so happy I"m getting it back on Saturday. I got a clipless too, which was what I ordered from our local fountain pen store. I thought it looked prettier than the one with the clip. My only gripe about it was that the ink in the converter seemed to dry up a tad quicker than usual. I wrote to TWSBI about this and they immediately sent a new collar, feed and nib assembly. That seemed to fix the problem (which, to me, wasn't exactly a huge problem) sufficiently.

Still waiting on my Stainless Steele Lamy 2000 with 14k nib. Based on previous experience I'm expecting it to arrive tomorrow.

 

Am also waiting on a Kaweco Sport in Stonewahed Blue and a Pilot Metropolitan. I love Pilot pens and want to see what the hype is about. I also have a couple of Kaweco Classic Sport Ink-rollers coming - 1 blue and 1 green. I already have a white one. I always have one on me for when people ask to borrow a pen and I use them when I can't use a fountain pen. I love how smooth they are and that they use fountain pen ink.

Mine is on its way as well...

After spending almost a week in Canadian Customs I am finally expecting my parcel to arrive today or tomorrow.

 

A Noodlers Ahab and Neponset. I am also expecting a Levenger Truewriter Kyoto from Massdrop and a Sheaffer Balance in Carmine from ebay. I am pretty excited.

The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards.
