I have five lovely pens for sale, as follows (from left to right in the photo):
https://www.flickr.c...6730560/player/
 
1. '60's vintage Waterman c/f, M nib, gold plated (hallmarked) - well used, with a slight crack in the cap, running from the top, parallel to the clip. No danger, no effect on capping, posting or use. Smooth, modern 18k M nib. $125. This was my grandmother's, but not a pen with which I have any emotional connection (unlike the solid silver one she gave me for my bar mitzva in 1970... ;-)  ).
 
2. Largest-sized Dupont Olympio/Orpheo in Black Lacquer and gold plate, B nib ground to a super-smooth soft stub by John Sorowka (Oxonian). Well used. Only defect here is my initials EDZ, engraved by Ercolessi when I bought the pen new in Milano. I have the box and papers somewhere, but in the meantime, what you see is what you get, including original converter. Full working order, a daily user. $275.
 
3. The crown jewel of my collection, a pen in which I am HEAVILY invested, and which is the best writer I've ever had: a 1934 Vacumatic OS in Burgundy (including the section and the striped double jewels. Lockdown filler, with HUGE semi-flex stub nib. The pen was originally restored by Richard Binder, and the nib was supplied by John Mottishaw.  The cap threads perfectly. The diaphragm has been recently replaced, and the pen writes with a juicy, smooth, variable line. I can't say enough good things about this pen; it's the size of a modern pen - almost 5.5" capped, and is a total pleasure, aside from the great color and the rarity of the model. Some slight brassing on the cap bands, and the imprint is faint but legible (it is, after all, 80 years old). The pen looks as though it was a recent purchase! $975.
 
4. Delta mini-Dolcevita set with leather etui. Adorable cartridge filler, smooth 18k B nib, and MP. Purchased new from Papeterie Kuhnemann in Berlin for my wife - used once. The set + etui = $250.
 
All price include Paypal fees and shipping anywhere.

Thanks for looking!
