Got my eye on a red/burgundy one.
The Nib Acquisitions 2018

Plumped for a green slim fold. Turns out I already have a vintage duofold that had been serviced and reconditioned by a vintage specialist around 10 years ago, put it in a draw and forgot about it.
I'll put picks up when the slim arrives. While I was at it I picked up one of the herbin ink roller ball pens for a fiver.
Pic of the slim fold. Writes real well. And is a lot greener than the pic. I couldn't get the light right. Sorry.
Also picked up a Parker not victory in black. (Vendor pic) I'm waiting for it to arrive.

Sorry that should be Parker mk 5 victory.
Super nice vintage scores! I've not yet had any luck finding any in the wild that were in a condition worth picking up. I'm also not nearly deep enough into the rabbit hole to take a gamble on restoring one I find online or in a shop locally. lol
That looks exactly like my blue one - except it is green :=)
What number do you have on the nib?
Guess it did not need more than a good flushing? These pens seem to be as tough and robust as the P51 from the same times...

The nib has a number 5 stamped on it. The victory arrived yesterday and looks way better than the pic from the vendor. He'd already flushed it through and and given it a polish. Loaded with quink black and off she went. The nib is less springy than the skinfold but she's a great writer. In fact it's up on deck for tomorrow. I'm starting a new job and day one is corperate induction day. So new note pad A5 size (nothing special) and the Parker.
Picked up a really early Parker Vacumatic, date code 45 (4th quarter 1935) in green, two-tone nib looks like a medium.
Needs work (nib, filler diaphragm) as it's fresh out of an estate sale. Damn, feelin' lucky!

Just surfing the bay looking for hen's teeth when I came across this. The infamous Kaweco ink roller pen. A new year present. I've been using their current roller ball with the G2 recipient but have been after one of these for a while.
Sorry that should say G2 refil
Jürgen is a good seller, I met him at the LA Pen Show about 15 years ago and have bought a few pens from him in the last few years.
Cheers for that. I like positive reviews, even better when from a fellow B&B we.
Conklin All American Yellowstone. Wanted the fountain pen but went for a ball point as it will be more suitable for work.
Very pleased with it and I like one of the other colour patterns of the same pen which I will get at a later date in the fountain pen configuration.
Just a quick snap with the camera, anyway.

Nice been looking for a work suitable ball pen. Plummed for something cheaper though. Went with a sheaffer Award in Red with black medium point ballpoint and the Caran d'Ache metal classic 849 in red with a fine black ball point.
Yours is way better looking though.

Looks nice! I have to go with a chunkier body or my hand fatigues quite quickly.
I got several replacement ink cartridges as well. I like to mix it up so several colours.
I haven't tried Sheaffer yet but they have some nice pens!
