Greetings, all. Selling a group of pens I no longer (or have no plans to) use.

Writing samples are here. All pens inked with Waterman Serenity Blue.

Preliminaries: (1) Add $7 for USPS Ground Advantage shipping.  For payments received before 10 pm US CT, I mail pens the day after they are ordered.  Pens without boxes will be packed in a section of 1" PVC pipe (to dispel fears of something looking like a pipe bomb arriving in your mail). (2) Payment via PayPal G&S, per sub rules. (3) Comment before sending PMs/DMs to purchase or ask questions. To minimize back and forth messages, if you want to purchase a pen and do not have questions, please include your PayPal email in your initial message. (4) Some photos may show ink residue on pen nibs—this is from dipping pens for writing samples.  All nibs will be flushed and/or cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner before shipping.

The pens:

Pilot Vanishing Point Water Surface -- M and 1.1 Stub.  Verification pics here.  Condition: Conservatively rating as N since I've used it more times than I think qualify for an A2. My first FP, purchased more than 20 years ago, was a Vanishing Point. Last year I pulled the trigger on the Water Surface, my favorite of the Vanishing Point Raden pens. Lovely smooth writer and a beauty, but I simply don't reach for it often, and I don't keep pens that I don't use. Comes in original box. I am selling this with both the original <M> nib and a contemporaneously purchased 1.1 Stub. I will include a CON-40 converter. $500 SOLD

Franklin-Christoph 02--BCI / F / M.  Verification pics here.  Condition: A2. Color: Vintage Green. Nib: Bold Cursive Italic, Fine, or Medium. I purchased the 02 at the 2024 Dallas Pen Show with a Broad Cursive Italic Nib. I subsequently purchased steel FC <F> and <M> nibs. I am not a fan of the small curve at the bottom of the pen's grip section, and regret not purchasing a FC model with a straight grip section. If you have shopped FC pens, you know that FC only sells Nagahara CI nibs with pen purchases. So, if you want to buy the pen with the BCI nib, the price is $150. If you want to buy the pen with the F or M nib, the price is $125. I will sell the other nibs that the pen buyer does not choose. $15 for the F and M nibs, $30 for the BCI nib. Buyer of the pen gets priority choice, so I will not sell nibs individually until I sell the pen. Comes in original box with FC pen sleeve and ink cartridges (and BCI Chop if you buy it with the BCI nib). Pen and all nibs SOLD.

Conway Stewart 27- B.  Verification pics here.  Condition: D for vintage. Lever filler—I have installed a new sac.  Beautiful pen in Cracked Ice, one of the more collectible CS colorways. Very smooth, VERY wet writer. WET. W. E. T. Clear barrel imprints. While the cap band has a few micro-scratches, this pen is in outstanding condition. The characteristically soft CS gold nib has some semi-flex, but it can be difficult to distinguish because of the B nib and the wet ink flow. $175

Parker Vacumatic Major 3rd Gen - M. Verification pics here.  Condition: D for vintage.  Silver pearl stacked celluloid. The date code on this one is puzzling--likely manufactured in 1945. Third-generation Speedline filler with plastic plunger. Length - 5-1/8". I have installed a new diaphragm. I rate barrel translucence as fair--a bright light will shine through the barrel, but the translucence is not pristine. The nib is neither bouncy nor stiff. Very smooth writer, but micro-scratches (obvious under magnification) make this a user-grade pen. A solid introduction to Vacumatics. $80

Pilot Metal Falcon - Brown - SF.  Verification pics here.  Condition: A2 (inked only a few times).  I prefer vintage semi-flex nibs.  Comes in original box (box is marked as a M nib, but it is SF per verification pics).  Pilot Con-70 converter included. $125 because I've listed it previously (to no avail) and I want to be rid of it. SOLD

Platinum 3776 Century - Chartres Blue - "M". Verification pics here. Condition: A2 (inked twice). The nib is stamped M, but it writes F. Really F--as in compare the writing sample line width to the line width of the unflexed Pilot Metal Falcon SF. Comes in original box. My missing the pen's return window is your treasure. $110 SOLD
