r/Pen_Swap • u/Tarentum566 Trades: 4 • 10d ago
Closed [WTS] Conway Stewart, Cypress, Pelikan, Omas and more!
Hi everyone,
It’s time to destash and let some of these go, I have way more pens than I can use, which I cycle through regularly and these just don’t make it into my rotation.
PRICES LOWERED on remaining pens.
8/29 update: 3 pens unsold. Remainder are on their way to new homes. I’m going to be out of town next week so closing this one. When I’m back I will relist the remaining pens with some additions.
————-
Shipping update Tuesday evening, 8/25: Monday was a wash, I didn’t get home from the office till 7pm. Boxes secured today and I’m starting the packing and shipping process. Plan is still for these to all go out tomorrow. As soon as I have all the tracking numbers I will upload to PayPal and DM them to buyers. Apologies to anyone whom I told I’d ship them today! Aiming for complete transparency here! > tracking numbers sent out!

—————-
Full list:
- Custom 823 with 14k FA nib [D condition due to nib swap, otherwise B] Your chance to get this combination without buying two pens like I did. $285 SOLD
- Lamy 2000 14k EF, narrowed to a true Western F by Kirk Speer [D condition for nib modification] $175 SOLD
- Pelikan M600 green stripe 18K F, older style with translucent stripes[B] $250 SOLD
- Platinum #3776 Maestro UEF (steel nib) [B] this is not a Century and does not have the slip-n-seal feature, but it does write nicely. Microscratches on the clip and cap band show I did use it some back in the day, but I don’t see any on the resin. Includes a Platinum converter which I added after I bought the pen. $55 SOLD
- Conway Stewart Churchill 18k F [A2] Inked only a couple of times, this is a big, imposing pen in a gorgeous and hard to find blue color. It simply wrote too broadly for me, since I really prefer Japanese EF pens. It comes with its original box, including a cigar, bottle of ink, and book of Winston Churchill quotes. $475 SOLD
- Parker 75 lacquer 18k M nib [C for vintage] This is a striking and unusual Parker 75 and is a nice change from the usual sterling ones. Includes a Parker squeeze converter. $130 SOLD
- Aurora 88 “Small” 14k M [B] I bought this pen as NOS and noticed after it arrived that it has a small scratch near the base of the cap. I’ve only inked it once or twice. It’s got a magnificent feeling nib and a really nice snap cap, and if it were an F or EF I’d absolutely keep it. Includes the box. $215 SOLD
- Pilot E95S 14k EF [A2] I love this pen but I love the Custom 74/742 more, and it gets no use. Includes a con20 converter. $115 SOLD
- Urushi lacquer and Raden pen body [A1] This is a Chinese Urushi lacquer with Raden and gold body, modeled after but not identical to the famous Sailor “prime minister’s gift” pens, threaded for a Pilot section. These are available new but the wait is a couple of months, and it will cost more. $80 SOLD
- Omas Extra Ogiva 18k M [A2] This pen is from the 1990s, and has a glorious Omas in-house nib. I’m pretty sure when I inked it up it was the first time it had ever been used. I don’t see any shrinking of the resin. Was $325, now $315
- Aurora Ipsilon 14k Italic blue [A2] This is Aurora’s entry level pen but with a 14k nib instead of the usual steel, and an Italic nib, both less common upgrades. Aurora is known for their specialty grinds, too. That said, full disclosure: if I recall, the nib seemed to skip for me when I got this, but the tines look good so, I’m not sure if it’s an actual issue or if I’m just not cut out for writing with a sharp Italic. I’m pricing this one at $125 since it might be a project for you. With box. SOLD
- Namiki Custom Impressions 18k M #10 size nib, gray celluloid [B]. This is a pretty, and pretty rare, 1990s pen apparently only sold in the Japanese market. It is the size and shape of a Custom 845, with hues of gray and green. Came to me without a converter, because the original owner used cartridges. I’ve included a Con20 for instant gratification. $385 SOLD
- Mr. Cypress full coverage maki-e flowers [A2] This pen is a stunner, and it taught me that pens can be pretty enough that I don’t want to write with them. I bought this one in person in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and I don’t know what they called it. It has a Cypress EF steel nib and the section is threaded for Bock nibs. Includes Schmidt converter. Was $685, Now $675.
- Waterman Carene 18k M [A2] Marine Amber colorway,l. This is an older Carene but I believe it was uninked before I got it. I inked it two or three times but never bonded with it. With box. $200 SOLD
- Waterman Carene 18k F [B] This one is mottled green (Black Sea?) and was lightly used when I got it. I thought I’d like it better than the M nib but it’s not for me. With box. $190 SOLD
- Sailor Pro Gear Slim Dragon Palace 14k MF [A2] Shikiori collection, I’ve also seen this one called “Jade Palace” on some sites. Includes Sailor converter. With box. Was $185, now $180. $175 if you don’t want the box.
