This pen is in excellent condition but does not have the original squeeze converter. I offer it now supplied with a current style VP converter (arguably as good if not better than the old style) with an M nib in a Pilot box. I may offer it with a 0.7 Binder stub but the current pricing is for the standard medium.

 

The pen is probably the hardest of the Limited Editions to get hold of (okay - I haven't seen one of the fabled turquoise ones...). If I still had the old converter I would want around $450 but because of this swap out I am asking for $375 delivered worldwide and $365 delivered in the UK.

 

PayPal only worldwide please - cheque or bank transfer also fine in the UK.

Don't know the member who posted this one. I have the same model pen and can say that the yellow is brighter and more vibrant than the photos indicate. I am hanging on to mine. . . :rolleyes:

You're right Basset - the camera doesn't do this pen justice. I should hang on to it and may end up doing so - just thought this would fly at this price...

 

Just to remind UK buyers - this is £250 delivered in the UK. It's in the country already (import tax) and we are about to get a 20% hike in all that we buy...

 

I am open to reasonable offers

 

cheers

What's the price with 0.7 Binder stub?

Hi Kamilyakupoglu

 

I have decided to keep the 0.7 nib - the usual thing, tried it out again with selling it in mind and liked it too much - so it's no longer for sale.

 

I don't seem to be able to edit the original post to remove that part of the sale. Apologies!

 

The Mandarin VP will come with a medium nib.

 

thanks

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      @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
