I have been glued to the auction site and won a few pens...
They start to arrive and the wifey also starts asking questions...

Omas Extra Lucens LE - it comes with a really big display box...

Pelikan Cities - Shanghai - the photos only shows the red translucant colour, but it's actually stripes of red and yellow. Very interesting looking.

Staedtler-Mars "Tradition" - the nib of this pen is divine. It's got a smiling semi-moon crescent.

Cropped nib enlargement

A couple more is en route, stay tuned.

Lion · 15 January 2011, 02:00 AM

Kai, those are some beautiful pens...what types of nibs do they have???

Lol-x · 15 January 2011, 05:35 AM

Wow Kai you have been busy

Awesome looking pens.

I really like the Omas amazing looking barrel.

Congrats

Dr.B · 15 January 2011, 05:52 AM

Very Nice! ...sure beats my Lamy Safari.

2careless · 15 January 2011, 07:53 AM

Thanks guys.
The Omas indeed is very beautiful. I just missed out on a set of 7 celluloid Paragon pens or my haul would be even bigger

Both the Omas and Pelikan have factory M nib (don't think they have been worked on before). The Staedtler has a F nib and very flexible. Currently inked with Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo.

m5blitzer · 15 January 2011, 09:13 AM

Nice collection.

Bisquitlips · 16 January 2011, 01:51 PM

Kai,

That Omas is superb! Very nice addition!

Not to mention the others!!!!!!

sea-dweller · 17 January 2011, 03:04 AM

Very nice!

2careless · 20 January 2011, 04:01 PM

Just received a couple more from my binge...

Montblanc 322 Azure Blue.

Montblanc Imperial Dragon.

Still 2 more incoming en route...

gelshocker · 20 January 2011, 04:25 PM

Lovely pens!

Seeing those I could do with some retail therapy! Cheers,

Lion · 20 January 2011, 11:50 PM

Kai, very nice pens that you have acquired...how many fountain pens do you own???

GeoGio Greece · 21 January 2011, 03:20 AM

What are you doing to me !!

I just enter this section for help for my fathers Parker 51, and got "contaminated".

I think that I will start collecting fountain pens. I cannot resist any more !!!!!!

I already hear the sound of the nib running on good quality paper. No way out !

2careless · 21 January 2011, 05:23 AM

Thanks guys. Those are beautiful pens, aren't they ?

Leo, I really don't want to count, but I think it's already 3 digits.

MoonDogJerry · 21 January 2011, 05:32 AM

Love the Imperial Dragon Kai. That should go very well with your Agatha. Does the dragon have the ruby eyes?

Yikes!!!

Latrodectus · 21 January 2011, 07:20 AM

Beautiful pens. Your collection is growing fast

Shangas · 21 January 2011, 07:32 AM

First and third pens look beautiful! What filling mechanisms do they have?

Lol-x · 21 January 2011, 08:55 AM

Great pens

you should organise a pen Melbourne pen GTG.

I'd like to try out all your un-inked models

2careless · 21 January 2011, 09:20 AM

@Jerry - Yes the Imperial Dragon has the ruby eyes. It also has a "springy" clip. This is quite different to the other MBs I got.
@Shahan - All the pens are piston filled.
@Leo and Fred - No I don't plan to purchase more in the near future. I got a lot of comments from the wifey already... OTOH I may start sellling...

Lol-x · 21 January 2011, 10:42 AM

Kai can you please show us the nib/barrel on the Montblanc 322 Azure Blue.

What a great looking pen

Mate you don't want to see it. The nib looks terrible, and writes terrible. I'll have to send it to a nibmeister to see if it's fixable

BTW it's a small pen. capped length 12.2cm.

Lol-x · 21 January 2011, 12:28 PM

I just got a package from Greg Minuskin, he reworked my 149 nib.

I'll let you know, that may be your answer...............

Bisquitlips · 21 January 2011, 01:24 PM

Oooooooooh fa LA!!!!!!!!!!!

2careless · 25 January 2011, 08:38 PM

Another just rocked up today. MB 138

smartson · 26 January 2011, 02:10 AM

wow, they are beautiful. Congrats

Lion · 26 January 2011, 02:29 AM

Kai, your MB 138 looks really nice...is that a smaller type pen or large???

2careless · 26 January 2011, 06:23 AM

Hi Leo, the 138 measures 13.5cm capped, while the 149 is like 14.5cm.

MoonDogJerry · 26 January 2011, 06:51 AM

What year is the 138 Kai? It looks quite old.
