[WTS] [WTT] Visconti, Lamy, Montblanc, and others
($10 - $600)
I am passing along a few nice pens. All prices are in USD and include shipping to CONUS. I am interested in trades for some specific things, listed at the bottom, but cash (through PayPal's Goods and Services) works as well.
[SOLD] Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age Maxi 18KT <EF> - B+ condition: $600
I am the second owner of this pen that was well cared for. I can attest that this nib performs perfectly. It doesn't skip a beat, always starts with a nice solid, yet thin, line. The nib has a slight bounce to it. It seals well and the pen is in pristine condition, except for the patina, which can be polished. It comes with the box, including booklet and polishing cloth.
+++++++
[SOLD] Lamy Dialog Black Special Edition <B> - B+ condition: $275
I am the second owner of this pen that was inked a total of three times in its entire life. The nib is smooth and puts down a broad wet line, but it's too broad for the way I write. It comes with the box, leather sleeve, and tool.
+++++++
Montblanc 146 W. Germany <F> - D condition (see below): $250
Photos (updated verification above)
It has a wonderful smooth <F> 14K gold nib, with the pinkish/purplish patina some people enjoy looking at. The pen writes beautifully and everything is in excellent working order. The piston is smooth and the cap seals very well. The only issue is that two fins are broken from the split ebonite feed (see the fourth picture). This is cosmetic; the pen functions perfectly fine.
Because of the broken fins, that would make it in D condition. Otherwise it's in great condition. It comes with the box.

Laban Solar Green <F> (?) - B+ condition: $40
This is a wonderful little pen that seldom comes up on the Pen_Swap. The nib is smooth and always ready. It feels like a F but it is not marked. The box says B for some reason, but it's definitely not a broad. I am not sure of the material, but it feels just like the anodized aluminum on a Diplomat Aero. It feels like a very high quality build and has a satisfying feel. Unfortunately, it's too small for me.
+++++++
Parker Jotter Ballpoint and Fountain Pen <M> combo - B+ condition: $20
The ballpoint is the James Bond pen from Goldeneye. The fountain pen seals extremely well, and the nib is smooth and puts down a consistent line. They have a nice all metal exterior (though the grip section on the FP is black plastic. The ballpoint pen has a refill in it and the fountain pen has an empty cartridge. They are in pristine condition and the box is included.

DeAtrementis Pearlescent Ink Indian Blue - Copper, 45ml (>90%): $10 with another purchase.
+++++++
I am particularly interested in the following for trades (with money exchanged in either direction to make it even):
Pilot CU Vermillion <FM>, Sailor KoP Urushi, Parker Duofold Big Red, Waterman Carene, Montblanc 146 Burgundy, something with <OM> nib
but other interesting stuff to try out would be considered.
