I heard that VERY few of this pen are still available.

Follow the link shown at the IG post and use Google Translate to get the info where to order.

Why is it called Wagner?

[mke]

(Older) Japanese like German culture, music of Wagner and pens of Pelikan and Montblanc.

Wagner is the name of a pen club in Japan.

Nice. Following links gets to the following nib shot: https://livedoor.blogimg.jp/pelikan_1931/imgs/c/e/ceab5cdd.jpg

 

I usually dont like etched nibs, but because of the pixels showing up. Wagner managed to get some really nice etching done on that nib, no pixels!

 

Im curious to know what its the 1st anniversary of.

The first anniversary of the Wagner club owner's nib service/repair/grinding clinic.

Here he shows the nib of that pen. LINK

I am not becoming a fan of laser engraving.

Email pelikan @ hotmail.co.jp if you want one. Mori-san is OK sending overseas this time.

 

Surprisingly good price (can't publish it). B nib is almost (or already) gone, may be a small number of F remaining. Can get them either without grinds, or with "nata-togi" (meant to resemble an older type of Montblanc grind) or (broad only) stub.

I'm not a huge fan. I just got my first president and I think the factory two tone nib is a stunner (the only thing I wish the president had was the slip n seal cap and maybe a slightly larger nib than the 3776), but this is just kinda underwhelming.

 

Cool way to support the community though, and as long as the price isn't too exorbitant, I appreciate that they're doing this.

 

Platinum special editions always just feel so much more... special... than Sailor's nonstop flow of different colored plastic with the same old nib.
