So is it 'super-rare' just because someone swapped the barrel out with a different color one?

No! Nobody ever does THAT!

 

I don't think they'd swap the barrel, since it has the system and all. Swapping the hood and blind cap is more economical.

I'll be back after I steel wool that image off my minds eye. <shudder>

 

[EDIT] Sorry. A little slow this morning. Still on my 1st coffee. The seller actually dropped the ball. I think I would have gone with, RARE! Elusive Zebra Special Edition Parker Vacumatic 51. ;)

Nothing custom, just another Frankenpen.

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry

Super Rare Frakenpen... unless everyone loses their marbles and starts swapping hoods and blind caps like mentioned above.

 

Nothing super, nothing rare. Just a Franken. At least the seller got the section and end cap with matching shades.

Hey, lighten up a bit. We all know it's just a Frankenpen but all we are trying to do is have a little fun with it and you're like the cop who says "OK, folks, move along, nothing to see here."

 

I hope you don't take everything in your life so dead seriously because that way leads to less fun and much less joy.

I thought I was, as It was purely intended as tongue-in-cheek. Sorry if you/others misinterpreted. :notworthy1:

And sorry if I misunderstood, but the second time it looked like you were serious.

 

On another note, I wonder just how little you'd actually have to know about fps to seriously consider paying that much for that train wreck? Now there's a thought!

I recall someone who purchased a dual color P-45 just because it happened to be their countries 2 national colors. Blue and white IIRC and I want to say Sweden.

Thanks Brian. You pose a good question. It's a good thing that there are forums such as this one for people to learn without having to feel embarrassed. I know I have.

Tell me we're not seeing a trend... and how hard are you looking that you find two of these in as many days? At least yesterday's was a bi-color instead of a tri color!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
