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?

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!!!
