Classic Pens Lb5 Sailor King Of Pen

I have LB5 Tairiku (continent) in Amethyst Mauve and Marble White.

A spell of beautiful pens by Classic pens has been cast on me like you.

rokurinpapa, conicidence, I have the exact two colours as well. I still want the Diamond Brown one. But 3 LB5s? Cannot justify the cost.

We all work our pen deals in ways which suit us best. As a retired school teacher, I don't have a great deal of discretionary dough. However, having been using fountain pens since early elementary school & actively collecting for about 35 years, I have a fair stash. Was able to trade several pens each for two of my LB5s. Both were new pens, but the sellers were sufficiently interested in my vintage pens that the deals worked without worry on either part. I purchased my third one from Andy Lambrou at a pen show, after which my wife & I enjoyed rice & beans for the next couple of lean months. Good luck in acquiring your third if you really NEED one.

Hi Barry, thanks....hopefully my last post was not implying that I was reprimanding anyone for having multiple LB5s...on the contrary. For me at the time, it seemed too much to have a 3rd one...was jealous of the people who have the set or multiple colours though. Through some selling of some other pens and "stuff," I was able to work with Dennis at La Couronne du Comte and acquire the Kouseki (Diamond Brown) colour.

 

Yeah, I suck...don't NEED the third one, but WANT it. Apparently Andy is making the last of the lot and won't be ready until August.

I am happy to know you are the same comrade. I would like to have another LB5, Tensui (raindrops)

in Space Blue with rhodium plate trim http://classicpensinc.com/LB/LB5Tensui03.jpg . Maybe I am

blinded by love of gain of CP pens.

OMD! I LOVE your red pen! Red is my favorite color, and the more "in your face" red it is, the more I like it. I'm guessing that, being a limited edition, it's way beyond my budget, if there are even any left to purchase, but it has been a real pleasure drooling over yours :-).

The red's seem to be sold out but they are spendy. I think there are a few whites still for sale around the internet.
