Best regards.

I think I posted on something similar to this before, but my brain isn't working correctly enough to find it.

 

For me, I've recently discovered Nakayas and will soon have two, but I've already talked about that elsewhere here. There are a few other pens that I have multiples of, though:

 

5 Pilot VP/Decimos - fine, medium, and Binder 0.7mm CI nibs. Awesome writers with "click" convenience.

6 (I think) Lamy Safari/Vista/Al-Star - all fine nibs. Again, great writers that perform well above their price point. Plus, I wouldn't be mortified if I lost one - which has happened.

2 Pilot Custom 823s - one brown medium, one black fine. These guys are just plain cool!!

 

I have a few other multiples, but I haven't had them in rotation for a (long) while, so I think they might be destined to find new homes soon.

My Duplicates:

 

2 Parker 45s

7 Parker 51s

8 Parker Vacs

14 Parker Duofolds

4 Sheaffer Legacys

3 Sheaffer Balances

8 Sheaffer Preludes

6 Sheaffer Snorks

2 Pelikan 400s

2 Pelikan 600s

2 Pelikan 800s

2 Reform Calligraphy pens

2 Taccia Staccatos

 

I wish you wouldn't make me look at stuff like this, ya make me feel like a pen hoarder!

I have several pens in multiplicity. They are:

 

Lamy Al-Star-Charcoal and Ocean Blue

Stipula Vedo-Onyx and Ruby

Stipula Ventidue-Blueberry and Raspberry (and I want more!)

Waterman Phileas-Black and Marbled Blue (which will soon be sold)

 

In addition to what I've listed above, I definitely would not mind getting another Lamy Studio in blue or an MB Starwalker in black resin. Unfortunately, I think both purchases, especially the MB are the long way off.

I've yet to get to the financial stage in life where I can afford multiple copies of the same pen, but I figure I'll end up doing something like that for the Parker 45. It was the pen that truly got me into fountain pens.

I have two Pelikan M215s. They are such wonderful little pens that I would be open to a third or forth if I came across a really good price. I also plan on eventually acquiring a second Sailor Professional Gear, an ivory to go with my black. Generally, though, I don't like to have duplicates--I like having lots of variety.

My duplicates are as below:-

Parker 61's (5)

Parker 51's (4)

Hero 616 (bought 10, family snaffled 4 within seconds of me opening the pack)

And that's all my duplicates.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

Don't have any duplicates now but there have been a few pens that I've bought and sold:

 

M800

Parker 51 & Duofold Centennial

Lamy Safari, Vista & AL-Star

Dolce Vita OS.

Esterbrook J & 444

 

Don't own any of them now but they seemed to keep creeping up in my group

[penguinmaster]

I tried to do duplicates and failed. If there is a pen I really like I suppose I would buy a few. I'm thinking in the near future I'll probably buy a few more VP's, and have some custom grinds done to them. I just purged my duplicates actually a month ago.

I now see I am not as strange as I thought - I only have two pairs (each a different color and different nib)

Lamy Safari

Waterman Carene

[ZeissIkon]

I don't yet have any duplicates (unless you count the Papermates I buy for work and throw away when they're empty -- cheaper to replace 'em than buy a decent refill). I can, however, easily see myself getting one or two more Dollar 717i -- maybe a demonstrator and one in Burgundy to go with the Smoky Gray I have -- and a ten-pack of the Hero 616s. When I can afford to drop $150 on ink, that is...

[Rasendyll]

At the moment my duplicates are:

 

• 3 Waterman Edsons (Blue & Gold broad, Green and Gold Oblique Italic, Medium Sterling LE
• 2 Aurora Optimas
• 2 Swan Lever fillers, one BHR, one Red ripple hard rubber
• 3 Parker 51s allmediuum, 1 rolled gold and black, other two with lustalloy caps one teal blue one maroon
• 3 Pelikan 200s, one blue marbled BB, one green marbled m, one tortoiseshell and brown OB
• 5 Parker 45s (one fir green, with plastic cap, 1 1970s flighter, one lustalloy cap with maroon barrel, 2 'refresh' flighters- all with theoretically medium nibs except one of the refreshes with an oblique broad
• 5 Lamy al-star/safaris, charcoal with M, charcoal with 1.1mm italic, black with 1.5mm italic, aluminium with white gold 18k MK (bit of an oddity that one!), annodised green F

 

I also have a Pelican M400 in ivory and tortoiseshell M on its way, to sit alongside an early green M400 currently with an F. I'm toying with getting a custom flex for one of these....

[penmanila]

- lots and lots of vacumatics

- lots of duofolds (vintage and modern)

- quite a few parker 51s, 61s, 75s

- 2 149s

- 3 146s

- 2 pelikan 800s

I enjoy the following pens so much that I have more than one. Of course each one writes differently.

 

* Parker Duofold Jr., 3: 1924 RHR, 1927 lapis, 1928 cardinal red, all fine nibs

* Aurora Optima, 2: green & blue auroloide, both medium nibs

* Waterman Phileas, 2: older style blue & red marbled, both fine nibs

 

In the past I have owned multiple Namiki Impressions pens, but now only have the sapphire model with medium nib. I wish I had kept the ruby model with fine nib. I also currently have two 1997 international size Parker Duofolds: pearl and black with fine nib, lapis with medium nib, but the lapis model is for sale.

 

If I could, I would get a Pelikan 100 (or maybe 100N) with a F or EF nib to accompany my 100 with OM nib

[Easily Amused]

Currently owned duplicates - six pre-2005 OMAS Paragons.

 

Hope to add - more Danitrio Octagons and S.T. Dupont Orpheos (different colors, finishes, nib sizes).

[mucephei]

See my signature....I may well end up with the complete set.

[pmsalty]

Only one duplicate. Parker 51 vacumatic, one Dove Gray, one black.

[enricof]

Currently my only duplicates are 2 Reform 1745, 3 cheap Heros and 3 Ratnamson Indian ebonite EDs.

 

I have a short "duplicate wish list" (a list of pens I would like to buy in duplicate "later"):

1. MB 149 in B (I have it in EF).
2. Pilot Custom 823 (B-black, I'll receive a M-brown soon).
3. Sheaffer Balance OS (I have it in black, would like something more colorful).
4. Aurora 88 (modern) in rodhium trim (I have it in GT).
5. Pelikan M1000 (haven't any yet, but would like to have both versions...)
