I was bidding on some Esties on ebay last night. I missed out on two of them by being outbid with seconds to go :crybaby: but was lucky on my third attempt. :clap1:

This is the one I managed to grab and it's now on its way to me. Hope it's a good'un and I hope members here got the other two!

It looks very handsome! rolleyes.gif

I'm also waiting on a blue estie from FPN, an SJ.

Do you know which nib is coming with the pen?

I was wondering the same thing, mostly because I've focused my ebay scouring now more on finding certain nibs instead of just an Estie with any old nib. I don't want, for example, six pens all with the same nib (unless it's a nib I really like). Two or three is fine, but not much more than that.

It's a 9461 fine nib. Haven't got one so I'm happy. :happyberet:

The pen looks beautiful. Is it a J? The 9461 manifold fine is a nice strong fine. A nice one to have.

Yes - it is a J and has a new sac and J-bar.

      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..

      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
