My newest aquisition, Imagine that!

Visited the MB boutique in McLean, VA this weekend and came home with the new John Lennon donation pen. Comes in a large presentation box with a vinly 45 of Imagine and a book. Overall a nice well balanced pen.

Wow! Congrats for the purchase! Many thanks for sharing the photos!
It looks a lot more subtle and elegant than I imagined.

Brian, Thanx for the pictures...I have one ordered through FPH and will be available in early October. Did you buy the fountain pen with a medium nib or the fine nib???

It's a beautiful pen, but what the hell is "Vinly"?

I got a medium nib, nice and juicy! They told me that this edition would only be available in F and M as opposed to the Mark Twain which is available in F,M and B. Nib exchange is possible on these editions but it has to go to Germany for that and it can take "months".
