Greetings! This is a long-overdue review, not of a pen or ink, but of Mauricio Aguilar of Vintagepen.net. Mauricio has been a pleasure to work with throughout every step of my three transactions with him. Those three will not be the last! If you are looking for vintage flex, begin here. You will not find a better deal. Ebay may be cheap in dollars, but it cannot match the stellar services of a professional like Mauricio.

 

 

According to the latest info on his webiste, he now offers vintage flex nibs fitted into TWSBI bodies. I have not tried one, but Mauricio will not sell a pen that does not work well, and I can attest from personal experience that he stands behind his work.

 

 

If you have acquired a vintage flex pen that needs repair, Mauricio can do that, too, and for less cost than one would expect. I sent him a battered Waterman 52 that I stumbled across, and he made it look and write like new. We are trying to source a correct clip so we can say it is 100% restored, but it writes beatifully without a clip.

 

Mauricio has many pens that are not listed on his site, so send him an email at vintagepen@att.net if you are looking for something specific.

the pens in your photo are drool-worthy

for your wonderful review!

am I seeing the pen with repousse (all over top?) has rings on the side?

Thank you for your kind words. I wish I had a camera that would do the pens justice! Yes, the rings on the Swan pen are on the sides of the cap. They attach to a short chain that could be used as a pin or hooked to a lady's chatelaine. This pen does not leave my desk, though.

+1 from another happy customer.

Beautiful handwritten review Tiffany and excellent penmanship!

 

Thank you for sharing. Even though I have not bought a pen, YET, from Mauricio, he has been fantastic in answering my questions through email.

[Tiffanyhenschel]

Thanks, Paisleye. WHEN you eventually get a pen from Mauricio, you will not be disappointed.

I just recieved an e -mail From Mauricio and he does NOT have TWSBI nib or nib units. For us to use.

[Amberjack]

I shall add my tuppence to this thread as well.

 

I have just received a 1932 Marine Green Sheaffer Balance from Sr. Aguilar and I could not be more pleased.

This pen looks much better in person than even Mauricio's excellent photography could show.

 

Honestly, this pen is gorgeous and has moved into my professional rotation for client meetings. Buy with confidence at vintagepen.net.

 

Obrigado Mi Amigo!
