And when you order a new car they add £400 on for delivery.

 

There seems to be a reason for that. If they would put the cost in the price of the car, taxes would be higher.

Otherwise he is up to the usual signs of wear in the spring area in perfect condition :rolleyes:

If I were selling that pen, I would have felt obliged to replace that nib. An expert could possibly straighten the nib, for a price, but I have often seen creases and such in straightened nibs. The price makes it seem ludicrous to me. Rightly a good chuckle. I enjoy these.

BEWARE: DON'T tell the seller otherwise he/she will SEE YOU IN COURT.

In the last pic the left tine looks somewhat bent. Not in the other pictures though. Definitely amber marine.

      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

      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
