WTT Visconti Homo Sapiens or MB 149 for Pelikan M800 Tortoise

04 January 2014 - 10:13 PM

Hey all,
 
I have a Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age with a 1.3mm stub nib I would like to trade for an M800 Tortosie. Nib size doesn't matter too much as I can always get it ground down or buy an extra. Good condition would be preferable.
 
The Homo Sapiens was my daily pen for about 9 months and then I realized I really didn't like stub nibs so it has been sitting in a case for almost two years now.
 
I also have an early sixties MB 149 with a fine semi-flex nib, if that is more enticing of a trade for an M800 Tortoise. It is in nice shape and hasn't been abused.

 

Any questions, please ask.

Thanks!

Hello from the Shore

30 December 2013 - 12:09 AM

Hello all,

 

Just joined after lurking on the boards for a while. I'm from the Jersey Shore and am currently in graduate school for architecture in Rhode Island. I hope to finish that in a year and join a big city firm.

 

I've been on FPN for a while as MiamiArchStudent and on FPGeeks as well. So, some of you may have seen posts of mine.

 

I used to collect modern Montegrappa pens and a few OMASes, but have started to thin down those. My interests really lie in vintage Pelikans from the 30s to the 50s, especially the tortoise models, and Montblanc button fillers and piston fillers from the same period. I also have a Jade Parker Duofold Streamline that I've been meaning to restore that I absolutely love.

 

I look forward to being a member of the boards.

 

regards,

 

Kevin
