1. Franklin Christoph Model 02 Black cap, Tiger Red section, "Antique Glass" (BTAG) No Nib (Jowo threading)

• Price: 120
• Condition: B for used
• Description: Beautiful FC Model 02, the BTAG seems to be a special finish and not readily available. Mine is the only one I've really seen out there. Price does not include a nib, but I can include a Jowo compatible Kanwrite flex nib for free.

2. Desiderata PISTON FILLER Dumka in Strawberry Cream, Goulet branded Stub Nib

• Price: 200
• Condition: D for Modification
• Description: It's rare that an independent maker puts out complex filling systems, Desiderata is one of the only ones out there doing so. This pen is a true handmade piston filler, complete with an ebonite feed and a Goulet branded Stub. Desiderata clips tend to have the ball pointed upwards, but I modified it to point downwards for better usability.

3. New Radius Green Piston Filler (made by Leonardo) with Platinum 14k UEF OR 14k M nib Primissima Serie 2/12

• Price: 250
• Condition: D for Modification
• Description: Wow, what can I say, the vintage Italian company was revived a few years ago and I was lucky enough to get one of their first pens made by Leonardo. This is the green one and I can offer it with either a Platinum UEF OR M nib. Really great and hefty feeling pen, feels really substantial in the hand.

4. Giant's Pens in Black/Grey Ripple Ebonite No Nib (Jowo threading)

• Price: 120
• Condition: B for no nib
• Description: Beautiful Black/Grey Ripple Ebonite pen from the geniuses at Giant's Pens. You know the quality of the maker by the quality of their threads, and these have just beautiful threading! It's a subtle, but substantial pen perfect for the understated. This pen doesn't come with a nib, but I can include a Kanwrite Flex nib that is Jowo compatible.

5. Leonardo Momento Zero Vesuvio with OMAS 18k OB nib

• Price: 400
• Condition: D for Modification
• Description: This is what launched Leonardo into the next level for me. When they released the Vesuvio, it was a real game changer as the first Primary Manipulation piston filler Leonardo. This particular sample has an OMAS OB nib installed, just sublime. The OB seems to have suffered a bend, but was repaired (not by me) before I received it. Beautiful pen, deserves a home with an owner that will use it.

6. OMAS Ogiva Violet Alba 18k F Nib 89/327

• Price: 600
• Condition: B for used
• Description: Rare OMAS Ogiva Violet Alba long sold out from the legendary Italian maker. This copy has an 18k F nib and the purple is just absolutely stunning. The transparent body gives an elegant view into the body and serves as an ink window as well as well as showing the mechanism of the body. Really hard to find one of these nowadays, especially one in this colour and condition.

7. Visconti x Novelli 70th Anniversary Titanic Celluloid 14k Stub Nib 50/70

• Price: 500
• Condition: B for used
• Description: Wonderful pen in the Visconti Voyager shape with the famous double power filler. The Titanic celluloid is rich and intense, showing off the depth of the material well. This Visconti has normal threads rather than the bayonet hook safe. The biggest thing about buying Viscontis is avoiding a bum nib, so I'll tune this nib before it goes out.

8. Visconti x Corsani Stacked Celluloid 18k B Nib 38/50

• Price: 1,200
• Condition: A+ Never used/Never inked
• Description: Legendary stacked celluloid and Visconti double power filler? That's this incredible Octagonal 18k fitted pen. Did I mention facets? This pen is super super cool, and the Ponte Vecchio clip is great too! This was made from the very last original Manhattan celluloid and has a real chatoyance. Beautiful pen, enough said.

9. Visconti Opera Master Stardust 23k Palladium 1.3 Stub Nib 079

• Price: 800
• Condition: C for slightly tight cap
• Description: Incredible Opera Master in the Stardust finish. There's one on eBay for 1,095 so I'll put mine up here for 800. The nib is delicious and juicy, perfect also for a nib grind.

10. Visconti Opera Crystal Demonstrator Midnight Dark Age 23k Palladium F Nib Prototype 0/38

• Price: 1000
• Condition: D for little black parts at the end of the body (not visible when inked)
• Description: A stealthy demonstrator with full ruthenium coating across the trims and nib (including the vacuum rod!). The pen has some darker spots that I'm not sure what it is, but it doesn't impact the pen's function whatsoever. It cannot be seen when the pen is filled. It could be because it is a prototype and it was remains of installing the black metal vacuum filler. Overall it's an incredible pen, completely sold out, and difficult to find, especially in such a nice condition.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
