Hi All!
Mostly I am a nib and repair guy, but I do get nice pens now and then. I think this Lime Green Conklin is a nice pen!

Ooh, that is sweet. Congrats!
Thank you! I usually don't collect pens, but this one is tempting to hang onto, he he!

Great color to it, a swirl jade. How's the nib, as you are a nib guy

The furniture on that looks great as does the color. I love it when you can find green that is not discolored.

I saw a teeny tiny version of this pen (or close to it) at LA last Feb in Lapis Blue. Had the red lines and everything. It's as close as a regret that I've ever come to that I didn't get that pen, and I think one of the items I'm going to put on my list - or at least *start* my list - for the next show I go to is to start looking for a Lapis Endura from this era. Something about it just tickles me, and I find them very handsome pens.
Happy for you, Greg.
Happy for you, Greg.

The nib, the nib! Well, its a semi-flex fine, really nice, and soft too! I am sure someone will enjoy this nib; I can't write with it worth beans, he he!

I thought it was a bit discolored, as the "covered" part of the barrel at the threads is slightly off color to the rest of the pen.
Oh good, its a nice one, yeah! Thank you!

You know, this pen "tickles" me too for some reason; the color, the size/shape, Art Deco look, I don't know. I am mostly a nib guy as you all know, but this pen, well, something special for sure.
I picked up also a black Endura with this lime green marble Conklin too. Restored it between client repairs today, came out nice too! Stiff medium/wet/juicy nib on it.
