So, it's payday and I went on a budget shopping spree, ordering some pens I had had my eyes on for a few days now.

- Jinhao X750
- Waterman unknown model. Hard to tell on the photograph.
- Parker 51-like model, again hard to tell on the photograph.
- Duke uranus M08
- Hero 7009

Also, I bought two 30ml bottles of Diamine ink (autumn oak and Emerald-my first bottled inks), 2 pelikan international converters, and parker quink cartridges.

As for the Waterman and Parker... I can tell they're the advertised brand by the photographs, and they seem to be in good condition, but the reason I got them dirt cheap is the seller doesn't really know what he's selling.

Edit: This way I have some things to look forward too. I've had a rough time, and wanted to have some things coming to be excited about. I like the idea of 'gifts' trickling in through snail mail.

Dang it. I forgot that I ordered a Waterman Kultur in clear, with an F nib. It will be another knockabout pen for my collection.

So, the Platinum 3776 hits Tokyo on the 15th, NY on the 16th, then on to New Jersey, Philadelphia, Wilmington then BACK to Philadelphia! Is the USPS crazy or what?!? I'm starting to wish I never looked the first time! Any bets on where it lands next?

NOS Sheaffer Imperial III. I lost one of my two last year and really enjoy writing with it, so i purchased a replacement to serve as a backup. It is strange that i tend to like thicker pens, but the Imperial III is one of my daily users.

Just ordered a Parker Sonnet Dark Grey (Rhodium with f/nib.) It isn't gonna come for a while due to international shipping, but I can wait . It's the most expensive pen I ever bought (Costing 267$) but I bought it for about 170,000 won (146$ in USD.) Huge steal :D

A "used, excellent condition" new-style M200 in marbled green, in the original box, with two nibs, a fine and an italic. Shipping on Monday.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

A little humor on the side; I think we can all relate to this...

 

image.png?w=500&c=1

...The history, culture and sophistication; the rich, aesthetic beauty; the indulgent, ritualistic sensations of unscrewing the cap and filling from a bottle of ink; the ambient scratch of the ink-stained nib on fine paper; A noble instrument, descendant from a line of ever-refined tools, and the luster of writing,
with a charge from over several millennia of continuing the art of recording man's life.

My M200 arrived at the local Post Office at 7 pm last evening so it should be out for delivery today (Wed).

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
