Now you're teasing!

 

 

While they don't get discussed too much, I always prefer getting the companion pieces when available. :D

​I bought two Pelikans from Martini - just through ebay and not on the auction site - and both times were a pleasure. The second time, I lost the bid but the winner didn't follow through and the pen went back on auction. I was surprised I didn't get a "Second Chance" offer, as I was the next highest bidder, but I ended up winning it - for $30 less than my previous bid!

All my experience to date is in line with yours. Thanks!

I think the martiniauctions.com auction software (or perhaps its administration) isn't quite the same as eBay's auction software... :)

All's well that ends well. I won the auction for the Ruby Red M600 on the Martini Auctions site, so I'll soon have my replacement in hand.

 

Thanks to everyone for your assistance!

 

And a belated Happy Easter to you all.

I'm so glad you were able to find this replacement! I've bought from Martini a few times and she's first-rate. Let us see a photo once you have the pen in hand.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
