I though what is the most expensive pen you own ?

 

Mine was the MB Pope Julius II but not any more.

Now its the my new MB Hemingway.

 

Cost way more then it really should but then I really,really wanted it

When I was in the 4th grade, nearly five decades ago, my father gave me a Parker "51." To get that pen, I had to -

- pay attention to my penmanship instructor - for the six weeks we learned dip FP's

- pay attention to my classroon teacher - for the six weeks we learned dip FP's

- not put girls' pigtales in ink - ALL YEAR

- produce writing on paper that resembled good penmanship

- get B+ or better in ALL my other subjects for one six-week marking period

- get an A in deportment for one six week marking period

 

That "51" is THE most expensive FP I own.

The pen I paid the highest amount for is a Stipula daVinci; but the Waterman Sérénité is officially rated higher (I just got a good deal on the net).

Most expensive I own is a Pilot Custom 742FA. Similarly valued, but good price on net is a Sailor 1911 Full size, with Zoom nib, which I had ground to a Togi nib.

Theoretically my Aurora Optima, I say theoreticaly because she's the most precious BUT I pay 30 euros for that!

 

As a matter of fact the highest bill was for a my Parker Sonnet at the moment...I assume I'm tight with money in comparison with the other members of this board.

The Cross Apogee that my parents gave for my birthday.

 

Yes, I am poor.

My Gold-trim Inoxcrom Wall St.

 

Not anything my the standards on here, but a fine pen that fits my hand almost perfectly.

Best answer yet.

 

Mine is my 1934 or '35 OS Sheaffer Balance, which I am happy to report is also my favorite pen to use.

Thank you Hari,

 

Yes you can expect a review, but I still don't have the guts to ink it.

 

Hang in there, it will come.

It looks like an instrument for severe torture in Blackadders dungeon.

A Parker 75 vermeil, but I can't describe it well because I haven't seen it yet! [it's in a delivery box in my office and there has been some stuff going on which is more important than pens.]
