Selling this gently used Pelikan 400NN. I am getting another with an EF so this Bird needs to find another nest.
Condition: B It has some microscratches from use, but the trims are in decent shape, and the piston works smoothly, just as it should.
It’s fitted with a 14k OM nib, though in practice, it writes more like an OF with just a touch of line variation.
Asking 140 euros shipped anywhere via registered international mail, or best offer.
Happy to provide more pics or answer any questions, thanks fore reading!

Hello,
I am putting up for sale this Visconti Homo Sapiens LE, I bought this online, I don't know much about previous history of the pen, I received the pen cleaned it. I inked the pen and did some writing for a couple of days. I prefer Medium or Broad Nibs so I decided to let this one go. Condition seems to be [B], all parts working fine, I don't see any scratches of dents, Nib is bouncy with some feedback.
Nib: 23k Palladium Dream Touch Fine nib.
Thanks!

selling this vintage Waterman in D condition.
the bad: signs of age, it has developed a brown patina that I haven't polished. There's a small chip on the cap as well as a crack on the lip (closeups in the album). However the cap still closes securely.
the good: very very very flexible nib with great snapckback, I'd say that goes from an EF to a BB.
Asking 135 euros shipped anyhere via registered international shipping or best offer.
thanks for reading and reach out for more pics/any questions

[Parts][A2] S.T. Dupont gold 14k nib, Medium - $350 OBO This is sort of a catch-and-release, I've never really seen these sold before, so I'm not sure of the price. I bought two of these, one in EF which you can see at the end of the album to show they fit with a Bock housing/feed. I will include the original Dupont housing/feed, and a Bock housing/feed is available for an extra $10.
[Parts][A1] Nahvalur black 14k nib, Medium - $150 OBO Should theoretically fit any Narwhal/Nahvalur pen, bought to put in a steel nib horizon but I am currently in need of money more than pens. Should write more like a Broad.
[Parts][A2] Bock gold 14k nib, Broad - $175 OBO No idea where this came from, I got a good price on it and was going to get it ground, probably by Kirk Speer. Unfortunately, some extra costs came up that I need to cover, so this one's gotta go as well.

Let me know, if you have any questions :-)
I am selling my Montblanc Meisterstück 146 with a 14K <F> nib (western - leaning towards an <M>)
The pen is in great [B] condition and a great writer.
The gold trim is in great shape, there are faint microscratches overall but no major scratches or blemishes. Given the age, I think that soft of patina is to be expected. They are mostly visible only under direct light, anyway.
Dating the pen is a bit tricky, but here are some bullet points that lead me to believe it's from the 70's:
- clear (maybe gray-ish) ink window
- plastic threads
- no markings/ stamps except for 'Germany' on uppermost gold trim
- split ebonite feed
The nib is beautifully bouncy without being too soft. Given that it is a western F nib, it hits the sweet spot between not being too thin (to me) like a Japanese F while not being as smudgy as a western M.
Absolute heirloom pen, only selling because I need to reduce my stock.
Currently fully inked with iroshizuku tsuki-yo and shipping as such.
Asking 295 USD. Shipping within the EU for a flat 10 USD on top, international shipping available at cost.
Cheers!
Edit: Of course I could also clean out the pen before shipping. The ink was meant as a little cherry on top in the way of a sample :)
Hi,
I’m still looking for the Twsbi 580 lime green from 2016. It’s the only pen I’m missing from my new collection after my original collection was lost in a move.
Thanks
I was given a bunch of stuff I don’t need so looking to sell. Selling all of these as a set for 100$. All pilot pens do not come in original box but comes with a standard pilot cartridge.
Please comment if interested! i’ll donate this end of February if no one’s interested.

For sale: Sailor 1911 Profit Light cartridge/converter, with extra fine nib <EF> and BLUE SPARKLY BODY.
Originally I had posted this as a 1911 Standard, but thankfully, I was informed that it is in fact a 1911 Profit Light. I have modified the post and lowered the price accordingly.
The 1911 Profit Light is a solid, cigar-shaped offering from the Sailor Pen Company which is a bit less fancy than the 1911 Standard. Here is a good post that talks about the differences: https://www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/1bj5ws7/sailor_profit_light_vs_standard/
The nib on this one writes as expected for a Sailor, with a lovely flow and characteristic feed back that rewards a light hand. The pen’s body and hardware are in good shape, with no major scratches or brassing. Grade B.
The pen will ship with a Sailor ink cartridge.
Asking for $100.00 $80 shipped to CONUS. Shipping outside the US is possible, but buyer pays for it. All sub rules apply. Please comment publicly first.

Hi all—still looking for the following two pens:
thank you!
as always, payment via g&s. comment before sending a chat.
I’m selling my Spoke Axle, little use. The little use is due to the original nib drying out quickly, Spoke gently sent me another nib but I couldn’t get it to work either, someone with more experience should be able to asses and repair them, but it takes Jowo #6 nibs so a simple change is also possible. It has some ink stains, washable. No use marks on the body itself. Includes Schimdt K5 converter (has been inked, works ok, also stained)
Shipping fee not included in the price. I’m in Spain so sending inside the EU would be cheaper but I’d ship anywhere if the buyer covers the costs and taxes.
TWSBI Clear Mini Vac, Medium nib. Price includes insured shipping in CONUS.
Pen verification photo 2 (nib)
This pen was inked once (non-permanent, non-particulate ink). I've had it a couple of months, but just don't use it. It has been thoroughly flushed and cleaned and is ready for a new home.
Box is gone, but wrench, unopened silicone gel, and instructions included. If you're into ink samples let me know your favorite color(s) and I'll pull some to add.
Looking for a Hexreform or two in any color. Should be cheaper than I can get them from Aliexpress ($20 each shipped to CONUS). Doesn't need a cartridge. Paypal only.
A mix of pens I just havent been using or am not really that into anymore + one for trade! Hopefully someone else can get more use out of them!! I am open to trade offers though.
Verification: https://imgur.com/a/PYgN8gm
Prices do not include shipping! Shipping might be around $3-10 depending on location and how much you're buying.
Unused or dip tested once or twice (A1-A2)
Inked 1-4 times (B)
TRADE TWSBI 580 ALR Iris - 1.1 Stub for the same pen with an EF nib!! comes with the original box
OTHER - inexpensive pens or free with other pens.
All Kawecos, the Stabilo, and the Pelikan come with two cartridges!
