Wanted ~ Kaweco Sport

[dcpritch]

I need some help!

 

My Mother has fixed her eyes on my metallic green Kaweco Sport, suggesting (actually, telling me) she would like it for Mother's Day. Now, I love my mother, and I would give her not only the shirt off my back but also my green Kaweco, but I'd rather get another one so we can both carry one of these little pens around.

 

So, if you have one or more of the metallic green Kaweco Sport, or any other color of the basic model (not the AL or other more expensive ones), shoot me a PM and we'll see if a trade can be worked out.

 

I have a few pens we could work with on a trade, including the following. Some have more value than others, so depending on how many Kawecos you can offer for which pen, some cash might need to flow one way or the other to even things out. Let me know. Thanks, DAVID

Hi I would like give you a suggestion.

Why not buy a metallic rollerball, then replace the rollerball tip with a fountain pen bottom?

I am not sure whether it will work. I do not only a Kaweco rollerball, so I am not sure whether the rollerball and FP are compatible..

But if your mother do not mind a rollerball, just give her the metallic ball rollerball, it will save you all these hustles to look for a metallic green FP. http://cgi.ebay.com.hk/KAWECO-SPORT-ROLLERBALL-PEN-in-METALLIC-GREEN-NEW-/310278618167?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item483e0bfc37#ht_2944wt_907

Btw im not the seller, I just happen to find it when I typed Kaweco on ebay.

Sorry for the typo, I was kinda excited so dropped the message quickly.

I have traded with a great FPNer in Australia: purple ink for a Kaweco Sport Ice with green cap.

 

I am still looking for a metallic green (cap and body) Kaweco Sport, so if one is out there sitting a draw and not being used, let me know and we'll see if something can be worked out.

 

 

 

... Why not buy a metallic rollerball, then replace the rollerball tip with a fountain pen bottom ...

 

Thanks, cecilchow, for the suggestion about switching a RB section for a FP section. That might work, but I'm not sure I want to buy a couple of different pens on the chance the sections match up. Now if you want to buy one, do the switch, and then trade that with me, well then ... Just kidding. Thanks again.

Hi David,

 

This looks a pretty good deal to me for three green metallic pens. But the downside is they are not brand new.
