Sadly, there is only the one, and no doubt Sumgai will get it before I have a chance to transfer funds from my grandchoildren's meal fund. Oh well, such is life.

That pen is real and is made by David Oscarson and it's called "Seaside" The original in enamel sells for around $4500 and the maker is a real craft artist.

I'm surprised you pen people didn't recognize the pen. It was a commission done some years ago.....

From $4,500 to 755,000 is quite a mark-up. The last diamond-encrusted pen I saw on Ebay was only $125,000. (Although, that one wasn't as creative; it was simply a fountain pen covered with an even layer of diamonds. This one could pass for a bathroom accessory from Walmart.)

Good thing it's only "one of a kind". Scary to think that there might be more than one of something that garish floating around....

Of course, my other thought: P.T. Barnum was right....

Come on now folks, it's not like it's a sofa-length painting of Elvis on black velvet, whose value is difficult to determine. This here is a piece of art, or well, maybe something that rhymes with... oh well, whatever. Still, it seems to remain available.

I don't recognize it because it's so blindingly gaudy and vulgar that it refuses to cement itself in my mind. I look at it and its visage goes right through my eyes and out my ears.

      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
