Two New Semi-Grail Pens This Week!

So...

I have stepped over the ragged edge into pen insanity and acquired two of my semi-grail fountain pens in one week. Sometimes it just works out that way.

These pens are always available somewhere, but rarely at the price point I am willing to "suffer". This week I just got lucky... and a little poorer!


#1. A Parker Norman Rockwell with all the accoutrements.

#2. A Montblanc Kafka 3 Pen Set.

Photos of both for your viewing pleasure. I will be taking some better photographs at a later time and update this thread.

Cheers!


Parker Rockwell:

Peek-A-Boo!






Stupid Stock Photo from Somewhere.... I hate these, but all I could find until I can take some of my own!




Montblanc Kafka:

I haven't polished these up yet, but the deep red translucent resin will dazzle with a bit of spit and a soft cloth.

Huge week....congratulations. Beautiful pens and cases. Are these put on shelf and used or just for display?

Richard, very nice purchases you made during the week(sorry I'm only seeing your thread now to send "Congrats")…and I'm glad you were able to pick up a few of your must have pens. They all look great!!!

They can be summed up in one word….."Sweet"
Use in the best of health…..

Take care…..Leo

I haven't decided yet, but so far I have never purchased a fountain pen that I haven't used.

The Parker is particularly tempting.

Just as a note that I forgot to mention: All the gold furniture on the Rockwell is 18K gold.

Not plated or gold filled, but 100% 18K gold. I found this intriguing as there are not many FPs that sport all their furniture in gold.

Such is a Parker Rockwell!

There is none better than Norman Rockwell to the American Heritage! Rightly so ... nothing on this FP is plated!!!
