Was not able to edit my last post (I posted it from a different computer, which apparently has to do with your ability to edit), but want to make this pen available again.
This pen is brand new, I inked it once and immediately found it wasn't the pen for me. It's got a steel, gold plated F nib that Richard Binder grinded to a XXF. Personally, the XXF still wasn't fine enough for me, though it might be great for you! I paid $105 total for the pen and nib, plus shipping. I'd like $95, and I'll pay for the shipping (CONUS). Obviously box and papers included.
I'm also open to trade. Think a Sailor Sapporo or 1911 with an XF nib, or something equally as fine and delicious.
Thanks,
Adam

I thought you might want to look at Japanese EF nibs if you like small nibs.

Edited to add: sorry, I didn't see you already mentioned about the sailor nib in your post.

I'm thinking a 200 may be smaller than I'd prefer. Haven't even written w/ a Pelikan yet, much less owned one.

Falika - Would it be possible to see a writing sample? I'm intrigued, but I am wondering just how fine that would be...?

I'll get that sample up by tomorrow.

Here's a writing sample with the "Binderized" XXF nib. As you can see it's thicker than the Prera, more on par with an Esterbrook 2550.

Just to give an idea of scale, what is the distance, please, in mm, between the ruled lines? Thanks.
