Is The Rose Al Still Available?

[CosmicSlop]

Short and sweet. I notice that none of the retailers have it in stock. Am I too late?

Only Broad and 1.1 mm stub available though.

You’d pay the VAT-free price (£47).

 

All nibs seem to be in stock at the moment.

 

International delivery is £10 or free for orders over £100. I’ve used their international delivery & it’s always been quick.

Amazon.com still has them. Broad nib only.

JetPens has them in Medium, Broad, and 1.1.

Possibly. Sorry about that.

I got mine last spring. I had gone into Birmingham Pens (back when they were still open), with my initial plan of getting one of last year's Pacific Blue Lamy al-Stars. Well, that pen's color didn't wow me, so I started looking to see what else was there in the store (besides the newly arrived shipment of De Atramentis inks ). And saw that they still had the TWSBIs and said "Oooh! What nib widths do you have in stock?" And walked out of the store with a pen that cost almost twice was the Lamy did, and three bottles of De Atramentis ink....

Much more expensive outing than I had planned.

You may have some luck on the Bay of Evil (but you might not get a good price even if they are still available that way). Dunno if there will be any available at a pen show. DCSS is in August, and it's huge, so I suppose there might be a *remote* possibility that someone there will have one at their table.

I don't know if contacting TWSBI directly will do any good (other than possibly giving you a list of other retailers, especially ones outside the US).

I just did a quick Google search. If you mean the TWSBI 580AL in Rose, it seems to still be available on TWSBI's site. It also seems to be available from other retailers.

 

So if that's what you're looking for, then you're in luck 😉

 

Try checking out TWSBI's site (I think Birmingham Pen Company still has stock too). Good luck! 😁

It is still available in www.twsbi.com;

But only in Bold and 1.1mm stub nibs.

 

Hope helps,

For those that have it, is it a Red or more of a Pink?

Red Rose is the current color. It's more red than Pink is/was; Pink was a lot lighter in color -- definitely pink, not red.

Just checked the Birmingham Pens website -- Rose is available but Pink is sold out.

Check JetPens, they have a few

[ErrantSmudge]

If all that's available is a Broad or some other undesirable nib size, you can purchase a replacement nib or swap nibs with another, more mundane 580.

Thanks for all your help. I think I'll purchase from the TWSBI store. I have a bunch of other 530,540 customized nibs I can swap for the broad one they seem to only have available.

 

As it turns out there may not be any additional pens produces as 580 AL Rose.
