Geez, I just saw Hari's post on receiving his set with some envy this morning when close to lunchtime, the receptionist called me.

 

"You've got a package!"

 

Thanks Athar!

My Blue F set arrived today... took a little bit longer to Oz, not helped by approaching Xmas postal rush, I'm sure.

It's pretty; trying to decide whether to use FP or put set away untouched - I have plenty other pens to use so it's not as if I'll be deprived of something to write with, and it's not often you get a vintage set in such pristine condition to save as a true collector's item.

At the moment, 'put away' is very definitely winning... as long as I remember where I put it, of course!!

My blue set arrived today from Kuwait. Thanks to athar201. I was pleasantly surprised to find the ballpoint pen cartridge was not dried out.

Same here. Also note that the 330 includes a "press to fill" convertor like in the Parker 51. Very nice set, thanks athar201.

I received my blue 330 today at my work in perfect condition. Thanks Athar. I was pleasantly surprised. I have had experience before of buying NOS pens from Saudi Arabia. Sadly, because of the heat, the rubber in the aerometric filling systems rotted away in front of my eyes during the first fillup.

 

However, no such thing with this pen. It seemed very well preserved. It has to be 30 years old, if I am not mistaken.

 

Great work. Keep it up.

Anyone get a medium(M) or a fine(F) nib in maroon who ordered an extra-fine(XF)?

Mine arrived in excellent condition, only it was a an XF instead of a medium (first choice) or a fine (second choice).

 

Thanks,

Received my blue fine yesterday. The pens are in very good condition and I love the way the FP writes. I am thinking of getting one more set. Thanks Ali

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
