What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[jphu]

Still waiting for my very first fountain pen: an ocean blue Lamy al-star!

[donwinn]

Waiting for Danitrio Cum Laude with M nib.

[AmA]

Delurking after far too long (not sure if I even posted anything beyond an intro, either!!)

 

Currently waiting for a Lamy Joy in the post - I know, not exactly exotic

 

Oh, and a dip pen and three nibs (well, it's to try lettering with watercolours, and I'm not going to spend a fortune on the pens only to discover I don't enjoy it or something!)

 

(Edited to add, ok - I don't even think I posted an intro... :embarrassed_smile: )

Just received today a Pilot Decimo Pink M nib and an old Signet with pencil.

 

I'm waiting a Sailor 1911 Naginata Togi from Japan that will arrive in a couple of days!

 

Ah, there is anoher one, a Schaeffer Dolphin, but the seller sent it in Italy instead in Switzerland :bonk: , so I suppose I have to wait a lot more....

 

[Beechwood]

Just two

 

A Wyvern from the restorers and a Parker Vac from Ebay US, I was totally fleeced on the P and P, cost me more than the pen is worth!

 

Caveat Emptor.

[Rainwalker]

An Ultra Marine Waterman Carene Stub nib from Lewertowski in France.

 

The last Carene sat in Stateside Customs for a week before they sent it on its way.

 

(Grrr)

Two Sheaffer Snorkels that should be just about ready to go out in the mail from their rehab at Ron Z's place.

 

A grape Bookworm 695 from gotoschool888.

 

A Sheaffer Touchdown that I figured for an Admiral but now think must be a Saratoga if that name applies to the same thing it does for a Snorkel (two tone open nib, plastic cap). I'm getting a little worried about this one because it has now been 11 days. The seller did indicate they only shipped weekly, though.

 

ETA 4/19: A possibly mint Sheaffer Snorkel Sentinel pen and pencil set in maroon. Too bad the sac is bad.

 

Oh, I also forgot a Sheaffer TipDip Cadet pen and pencil set in black.

Currently waiting on a grail pen.

(I've wanted to say that since I started posting here.)

[dlb]

i ordered a NOS cheap sheaffer pen from argentina that was made at the factory in Buenos Aires. I'm not expecting too much from it but I really wanted to own one of the pens that was made there since it is one of my favorite cities. Now I just need to figure out how to get back there again.

[dandelion]

A Cherry Haze Bexley Simplicity F nib, a red Esterbrook with a 2556 nib and a Raspberry Al-Star (trade).

[vtdolfan]

Got a few comming:

 

Pelikan 625 in blue (should be here Monday)

 

Jorg Hysek Kilada (replacement for a previous one that "failed")

 

A lot of 10 Heros from E-Bay (someone on the board mentioned this deal).

 

Should be a good pen week!

[ZeissIkon]

Waiting on a smoky gray Dollar 717i (ink window type, not the demonstrator version).

[dogpoet]

Apart from the grail pen, I'm waiting on three more: a white ATX and a Hero 616 (a '70s one, apparently) and a Huayibao 305.

[silverjen]

SS Cross Century II from the 'bay. It's already late so I'm really hoping I didn't get scammed...
