What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[adelaidepen]

Finally found a Montblanc POA LE Medici at a reasonable price - only 5 days away (customs permitting...........). After reading the FPN review, I'm a little worried about it possibly being a disappointment but it will remain in my collection for my son to inherit - whatever I feel about it. If I like it - he will just have to wait until I'm too senile to write anymore............

 

[Doug Add]

Not for me, but for my son.

 

This red Waterman Phileas from Dennis, as a replacement for the one he damaged by dropping on its nib yesterday.

[paulrbarnard]

Waterman Carene in Garnet Red ST Medium nib.

 

It will sit along side my Charcoal Grey Carene filled with Noodlers Red Fox to capture action items in my note book.

Just completed a trade, so I am also awaiting this lovely burgundy streamline Parker Duofold Jr.

[Gdowne]

Marlen Basilea (Black w. red accents), M Nib

Sailor Sapporo (Rhodium accents), F Nib

Conklin Antique (Black), M Nib

 

All should arrive by early next week at the latest.

 

YIPPEE!

I'm waiting on a pelikan m1000 3B nib that I won on ebay. I'm also waiting on a varuna rajan with the raw ebonite finish that I'll put it in to make an eyedropper fountain pen that I can use for signatures until I get a m1000 body to go with the nib. This is my present to myself for getting a tenure track position, I figure if I make it over the tenure finish line I'll splurge on the m1000, I can then send this nib off to have it made into a cursive italic and not be without it while I wait for it to get back. It will give me something nice to think about while I'm grading assignments. The rajan's finish should look nice with the lamy 2000 i'm planning on getting myself for my birthday which is coming up soon

Congratulations! Where will you be teaching in Brooklyn? I lived for a while off Flatbush Avenue, and was just through Champaign last month.

Let's see:

 

Pilot MYU from 1972.

The exact carmine red vac-filling xf WWII era Sheaffer Triumph I missed in the Marketplace about a month ago

My first Eversharp Skyline, in Blue Modern Stripe

My Black Sheaffer OS Flattop and Marine Green OS Balance, which I just sent off this morning to be stubbed by Greg Minuskin.

 

It's going to be a nice few weeks of getting goodies in the mail. Then I really must stop.

 

 

Really.

Oh, Chris, I saw that Carter's pen Sarj was selling. What a beauty!

Now waiting for a Hero "Cayman", black with chrome grid -- it'll be a while getting here from Shanghai, though. :roflmho:

Should be here today, a black Pelikan M200 from Mr. Binder. Equipped with an oblique (OM) nib but I also ordered a spare F nib. Paper and inks are on the desk and ready; will probably start with Noodler's Squeteague or Marine Green (Semper Fi).

[Belgo99]

Waiting for a lime green Nettuno Barracuda ... this is something completely different as of what I'm normally looking for.

Now I just have to find the right ink to go with.

 

[ZeissIkon]

And now, also waiting for this Huashilai from speerbob (should be a bit faster than the Hero Cayman).

[TMac]

Just ordered a Lamy Safari SE 2009 (Orange).

[bsodmike]

About 3 more weeks of patience
