My collection 090205

Over the past few years since I started on my fountain pen journey, I have amassed a total of about 48 fountain pens in my collection. Along the way, I discovered personal favourites and preferences and my collection whittled down reflecting it. I gave away the "surplus" to my siblings and friends. And ended up with the ones I would not part with. Or find it VERY difficult to let go.

They are:

1) Sailor 1911 large black, chrome trimmed, Concorde nib
2) Sailor 1911 large black, gold trimmed, tombo dragonfly maki-e, Cross nib
3) Sailor 1911 large black ribbed, chrome trimmed, Naginata Togi nib
4) Sailor 1911 large demonstrator, chrome trimmed, medium nib
5) Sailor Sustake, aged bamboo, Naginata Togi Emperor nib

24) Lamy Safari LE blue
25) Lamy Safari LE lime green
26) Lamy Al Star Silver blue
27) Cross Townsend, chrome

I told myself I would stop at 24 because that was the max that my pen case could take. I lied.

I have 2 other pens pending completion of payment:
- Sailor 1911 large yellow, music nib (last year's birthday present from my good buddies)
- Omas Arco Green (buying second hand from Rafil)

So many pens. And only one hand that writes...

p/s. Note to self: No more buying pens. No more buying pens. No more buying pens.
