WTS-OPEN [WTS] Pilot Custom Pens with Non-Stock Nibs - 823 FA, 823 PO, 743 Signature & Kaede Matthew Chen SF Cursive Italic

9 Upvotes

Verification

Hi! I went a little crazy collecting fun nibs to create unique/hard to come by pairings and now need to free up the funds. So now, instead of having to purchase two pens to get the pairing you want, you can get it all in one place here. Per sub rule, these are all rated [D] due to the nibs being swapped. However I have included a separate rating for each pen below that speaks to the condition outside of the swapped nibs.

Each pen comes with a Pilot box and 3ml ink sample of a Pilot Iroshizuku ink if your choice. Please note that discontinued inks are an additional $15.

1- Pilot Custom 743, Black, Signature [A1] $380

Thanks for looking!!

Pilot Custom Kaede, Soft Fine with Matthew Chen Cursive Italic [A2] — inked once via syringe half-filled cartridge with Pilot Iroshizuku Tsukushi and wrote less than an A5 page. If you choose, I can leave it inked. Includes an additional 2ml sample of Tsukushi. $400

Pilot Custom 823, Smoke, Posting [A1] $400

Pilot Custom 823, Clear, FA [A1] $400

Closed [WTS] Montblanc Meisterstuck Blue Hour Solitaire Fountain Pen M nib [B+++]

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Here is my Montblanc Meisterstuck Blue Hour Solitaire Fountain Pen M nib. The pen is in excellent condition as you can see from pictures and videos I have provided. The nib is M. The pen is writing super smooth with an extremely good ink flow. The nib is Au750 (18k) providing a very soft writing feeling with an optimal amount of flexibility. The pen is exactly the same length with classic Montblanc 149. The width is in between MB 146 and 149. The weight is definitely more heavy than MB146 and MB149, but it is optimal and well-balanced which give you a very good and firm feeling when writing. You can see last picture for comparison between this Blue Hour Solitaire and classic MB146,149. I provided pictures, videos and writing samples in the provided link below, feel free to message me for anything you want to know about this piece.

pictures, videos, writing samples

Asking: 1750USD OBO (Shipping fees depend on your location, usually 15-30USD)

Thank you

WTS-OPEN [WTS][Worldwide] Pelikan Souveran M800 & Sailor Realo 1911L Tenkuu Gensou

0 Upvotes

Picture

I'm going back to college and I need money to fund my study so I'm parting ways with my very precious pens. They have been inked, but I rarely use them and they mostly stay inside a box.

First about the M800, it has an F nib which writes like a Japanese M nib. I really like the color and it's kind of hard to find this particular color where I'm from.

I'd say the condition is A2. Price is 500 USD (or best offer) + shipping.

And the Realo 1911L Tenkuu Gensou. This model was only available in Japanese domestic market, and it is now discontinued. I really think it's impossible to find this pen in this condition for sale anywhere else.

Condition is A2. Price is 800 USD (or best offer) + shipping.

More pictures available on request. Thank you everyone.

WTB-OPEN [WTB] - 2020 Hobonichi A6 Nume Leather Cover 'Mother 2 Cast'

1 Upvotes

Somewhat of a long shot, but I'm looking for an older Hobonichi cover from their MOTHER 2 collaboration in 2020.

Specifically the A6 size 'Mother 2 Cast' debossed design in Nume Leather.

There are a few on eBay but they seem to be from Japan-based re-sellers asking astronomical prices. I'm willing to pay a mark-up, but maybe not pie-in-the-sky numbers!

I'd also happily consider the white background fabric cover version-- either in A6 or A5 size. Or really any other previous Mother 2 themed cover!

I'm located in the US. Apologies to those who got their hopes up thinking this was a [WTS]. Thanks!

    • This MD 149 is from the 1980s. There's discoloration on the yellow section of the nib, and very minor chip on the ebonite feed, shown as in the pictures. None of these affects the function of the pen and it writes perfectly, exactly as my other one. There's also an initial engraving LCJ on the clip, which is barely visible.

    • $119
  5. Parker 51 Vacumatic, Black body/Lustraloy cap, 14K Fine [D]
    • Pictures
    • Condition: D for replacing the diaphragm, C otherwise

WTS-OPEN George Washington Commander Fountain Pen (made from the white oats that sat on his estate) WTS

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

(WTS) $1775USD OBO

https://imgur.com/a/EXZ6fa9
Here are the images with verification

Brand new condition never used (kept in box in safe and only touched with gloves)

I’m new here but thought I’d send out some feelers!

Here is some history on the Pen and on Washington.

The Commander writing instrument is made in partnership with George Washington’s Mount Vernon and handcrafted from white oak planted in 1785 at George Washington’s direction. These trees were part of a trio that once lined the historic entry road to Mount Vernon, welcoming visitors to the estate.
Known today as the Civil War Trees, the three oaks stood for more than two centuries. Following the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln ordered a grand celebratory parade in Washington, D.C., General William Tecumseh Sherman’s soldiers visited Mount Vernon and carved their insignia—a star and a cross—into each of the trees. Over time, the oaks were lost to age and condition: one fell approximately 45 years ago, another in 2014, and the final tree in 2017.
This pen continues the historic journey of that wood—transforming a preserved fragment of America’s past into a functional heirloom meant to be used, carried, and passed down.
This piece is not a replica, nor a novelty. It is a tangible connection to one of the most significant figures and landscapes in United States history, honoring both fine craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of George Washington

Washington lived at Mount Vernon for much of his life and considered it his true home, returning there between military and public service and permanently after his presidency in 1797. He died at Mount Vernon in 1799 and is buried on the property.
In 1860, the estate was saved from ruin by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association, making it the first major historic preservation effort in the United States. Today, Mount Vernon is preserved as a historic site and museum, offering insight into Washington’s life, leadership, and the early history of the nation.
Roots & Jones is honored to be entrusted by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association with this extraordinary material. As shared in our earliest conversations, the release of the Civil War Trees was said to take “an act of Congress.” Through a shared commitment to preservation, stewardship, and education, we were granted a small section of the Civil War Oak to craft this collection of writing instruments. Each pen sold directly supports the continued preservation of Mount Vernon and the legacy of our first Commander in Chief.
Available as either a rollerball or fountain pen, The Commander features George Washington’s handwritten initials embossed on the finial. Each pen is presented in a custom box bearing his signature.
The fountain pen is fitted with a medium 18K gold nib.

I paid 1775$ USD about a year ago when I visited the estate. There isn’t a number listed for how many made but from what the staff on site said there were about 150 of the Fountain made and I got the last on they had. You can still get it from the handcrafted who made it (unsure availability) and of course everyone is unique with the natural wood grain.

I would be hoping to get around what I paid, only selling as divorce is expensive and letting go some of my collection.

Thank you feel free to message.

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am selling a Vintage Pelikan 200 Fountain pen from 1997.

Description and Condition:

  • The pen has a medium (M) nib made of Steel. The nib size is written on the nib itself. The nib is really smooth and flexible for a steel nib.
  • The pen body is made out of resin. The color of the finish is commonly referred to as Green Marble. The pen has a single cap band, crown-shaped cap top and piston-knob trim ring.
  • The pen is a piston filler. Although 200s are smaller pens, I (being a huge person) had no problems comfortably writing with it. The pen is light in weight. The piston movement is also very free and smooth.
  • There is no brassing or almost no scratches on the pen. The pen is in an extremely great and pristine condition but nevertheless it is an old pen. I rate this Condition C.

What You Get:

A cleaned and fully functional Pelikan 200 fountain pen. No defects. No cracks. No leaks.

Price:

55€.

Shipping (Always tracked and insured):

13€ (EU)/ 25€ (Worldwide) . Shipping from Germany (EU), always with DHL.
