What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[NinthSphere]

Nice. I have a raden...something or other on my list at some point.

You know it is a good day when these two show up together in the post. Grinning like the village idiot at the moment

Sorry, I figured every one was a struggle at this point... Congrats on the addition!

 

Did you see they crazy mix-and-match 'Christmas Special' on the 'Bay this evening?

Wish I would've seen that earlier. That's pretty cool.

A Bexley BX802 with a 1.1 italic nib. Our local distributor still has one in stock, apparently. ^_^ should be arriving next week.

 

Lovely pen, I really like the cracked ice colour scheme

 

The nib is go too - my Bexley Magnum stub is incredibly smooth!

A lot of money for a frankenpen, and one that's kind of ugly to boot. It's a green transparent M200 barrel and nib but I can't quite place the cap. The red transparent cap is right for an M200 except the cap top doesn't fit. The etched logo and gold crown top are likely from an M400 made prior to 1997.

That's what I figured, too. The black inner cap with the pre-97 crown sort of defeats the transparency of the cap, doesn't it? Yeah, I didn't know what to think. I wonder where the rest of the parts of the three pens ended up?

Wow. Congrats on your new pen and ink! Enjoy it.

I struck lucky on amazon. I said I wasn't going to buy any new pens for a while as reserves are running low, but saw a deal i couldn't turn down.

 

I am now awaiting a Waterman Carene - bagged it for £60 new from Amazon! (live offshore so there's no taxes). The price has now shot back up to over £100 so I am a very happy bunny.

I scored a debutante-sized Parker Vacumatic in Golden Pearl with a two-tone nib. Not sure what size, the pictures were not completely clear, and the seller didn't say. But for under $50, I'm ecstatic.

[Behike54]

I finally got my Engeika shipping notice (after almost 3 weeks!) so my Platinum Maki-e Brush pen, Pilot Custom 74, and Pilot Custom Heritage 92 are on their way I got some Sailor Ink-Bar disposable fountain pens for my boyfriend I think he'll enjoy as well.

 

Best COUPLE post, EVER.

 

GRAIL, GRAIL, GRAIL..........oh and I got my BF some disposable pens! Any gift is a nice gesture and they may suit his needs perfectly, but it sounds TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!

[Behike54]

Still waiting for the pump pen to show up, but I ordered my Brass Wave Liliput in bold finally, and some vintage items: a Parker Duofold, an Esterbrook in dark blue, and an extra semi-flex Parker arrow nib. I also snagged some J. Herbin Stormy Grey ink.

 

You, my friend, are ROLLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You, my friend, are ROLLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just a stroke of good fortune and good timing! xD I swear I'll tone down the pen buying after this month.. I swear... *cough*

[DonLeone]

TWSBI 580 AL is on the way. First time I ever ordered anything online. It's making me feel quite nervous.

[Oldtimer]

I think i said it, and it has arrived, it's a Waterman's 52V that is all the e-bay seller said it was. It has wonderful FLEX, from fine to BROAD and it is in very nice condition. It was restored with a new sac. I did not expect it to be that small, though.... I Had bought other Waterman's that did not live up to advertisement for double the money. Nice surprise!

 

Now, a bad experience... i was expecting a metal, hand made dip nib holder that never arrived. The seller reimbursed the money, he was a gentleman about it. My conclusion is that it was "taken"- it had a tracking number for Mexico and US that had just one point of departure and that was all. It was a month since the order from Mexico was placed and it still did not appear in the USPS tracking system! That, i will need to re-order if i get serious about dip nibs. Oblique pen holders users here, which are the best! Please?

One of Ranga's dip pens with feeds that fit #2 nibs, should be useful for using some body-less vintage nibs I have lying around.
