4. An unknown Pelikan, won it accidently on eBay. Look strange with one ring on the barrel and 2 rings on the cap. Wait to check it closely when arrive. Not in very good shape, but for $33, what's to worry about, it is a Pelikan.

Those are stunning! Will there be a review forthcoming with more photos to drool over?

Are there some reviews forthcoming?

[Keyless Works]

There will definitely be one for the Yukari Royale but I am told there is a few weeks lead time and I am heading to Europe for 5 weeks so I probably wont have it in my hands until early August.

 

The Nippon Art should arrive this week and if I chose to keep that one I will write a review some time this month.

Thank you in advance. I hope you have a good trip to Europe—and come home with a few pens!

Today is the 11th day of waiting for a Parker Premier (75) in Laque de Chine. The pen spent 7 days without being scanned after pick up from the shipper. After a case # was assigned by USPS it moved BUT since yesterday has remained for 31 hours @ the distribution center prior to delivery @ my Post Office less than 30 miles distance. Tracking information has obviously provided no information except "package is in transit to destination." After initial delivery estimate of May 24 there is now a "delayed delivery schedule."

I am grateful it is only a pen & not medication needed for treatment of life threatening illness. I have never encountered such delivery issue NOR the seeming indifference of USPS when called for information. I indeed wonder if a Pelikan will not arrive more promptly that has been shipped from Germany?

It sounds like it would have arrived more promptly if they'd just tied it to a *pelican* and told him your address.

Excellent! I look forward to it!
