Other than full size pen w/gold hardware being a must, here's what else I'm wanting:
1st Choice--A Stipula Suprema Nuda or something like it. Seeing the ink inside, unobstructed, would be very cool.
2nd Choice--I guess a converter model would be OK, like a Sailor 1911. If I have to settle for that, the hardware on the converter must be gold too.

One more thing. I'm REALLY partial to stub and CI nibs.

If you have a demonstrator to sell, or have a good lead on one I'm looking for, let's talk.

Thanks, Tony

Hi Tony,

Would you be interested in a new medium point Pilot Custom 823 (Japanese medium so probably closer to an American fine)?

japan_antique has 1911 demonstrators frequently on ebay at very good prices. I just bought one from him with music nib annd gold hardware.

Swisher has the Cleo Scribent Primus in its clearance bin - large price reduction - if you are still looking for one as noted in your signature.

Thanks for the heads up.

Can you provide a link to their store, please?

Just go to the "advanced search" on ebay, and select seller and put in "japan_antique". His auctions and his BIN items will appear. You can also select past auctions if you want to check the past sales prices.

He will often swap nibs - you can send him a message if a pen comes up with the wrong nib and he will answer promptly. He will not swap colors.

He is completely reliable.

I ended up locating them, thanks. They actually have one just like I'd want, but in the med sized pen. I have e-mailed them to see if they carry the full-size 1911. Even still, that'd be a second choice. Seeing the ink inside a clear wide tube would be awesome.

I don't think he carries the full-sized 1911. If not, James P has them at peartree for a reasonable price.

You have been most helpful, thanks.

Tony,

This is the Pilot Custom 823, please ignore the dust and fingerprints

Tony, here is one on ebay that ends in about 2 hours and right now is at a good price.
