One of the nicest pens ever built, congrats ;)

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Stunning. I think this is one of those pens that you have to see in person to truly appreciate the details.

Congratulations on having your dream pen! It's beautiful. Thank you for posting a review, I have admired the Celestial pens from afar for some time.

Yachtsilverswan - I will post a picture of the box lateer today when I get back to my camera. I did look at the Valhalla series and thought it was beautiful. The Celestial was my favorite, though. The Valhalla is worth looking at. I didn't ask too many questions, so I can't tell you much about it. If you have a chance to meet David, though, he will be happy to tell you his inspiration for creating the series and all of the work needed to produce it. I would say the Valhalla is my second favorite of his pens. It is really stunning.

 

Dupontfan - Sorry if I came across as apologizing as I didn't mean to. I am proud of my collection and even prouder of the fact that I work hard enough to be able to earn the money that allows to me to indulge in my passion. The cap is a screw on, not a snap on. I haven't tried the Dupont, YET, so I can't compare. However, the nib is not really that stiff. I have much much stiffer ones. I hard a hard time classifying the nib as it is not flexible, but it's not stiff. It really is sort of a medium flex. I definitely love it, though. I will be returning the medium nib when I get the modified one. David was so nice to do this, that I feel obligated to return it.

 

Kalesin - I hadn't really thought about how the engraved grip feels. I went back to look at it and the engraved section is not cut deep so I barely feel it. You can feel it, but the engraving is smooth and not deep so it doesn't get in the way. The tactile feel is just fine by me, but I would suggest trying it out if you are considering the pen.

 

Nycom92 - I was fortunate enough to not have to pay quite as much as you quoted. If you are considering a purchase, email privately and I'll be happy to discuss the actual cost.

 

All, thanks for the interest. If there are any other questions, fire away. I love talking about this pen almost as much as I love using it!!

Andy,

I just read your post and I am seriously considering the Celestial...it is beautiful! To keep me from shopping every retailer out there would you please let me know how much you paid and where the best place to purchase one, in your opinion. Thank you

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
