Heheh did I work today to afford this?.. Definitely following… Love lazy eBay users who don't even wanna clean their pens...

Dupont Fidélio roller, oxydated silver... Yep, already have one of these, but a spare one wouldn't hurt  Also: this MIGHT be the full silver version, not just the plated silver'un I have...

Seul, that shot might end up costing me money. What's the damage for a new one?

No idea… Bought that'un second hand for around 100 €... Tip: if ya decide to buy on eBay, do your homework, and immediately have the pen brought into a legit dealer's to verify authenticity...

I'm pretty cautious about better brands pens on ebay, although I got a nice basic Montblanc 690 ballpoint a few months ago for a good price, and it makes a nice EDC pen. Not much chance of anyone faking a 1970s/80s basic model, but I took it into the Montblanc Boutique in Manchester to get it checked and ask for a refill adapter - the woman was actually excited to see the old model refill! There's a lot of dodgy stuff on there though.

Perhaps we should have a pens and paper thread - I could go on about my Midori Traveler's Notebooks and bore everyone silly about fountain pens.

Speaking of which, I'm currently loving my Sailor 1911 Demonstrator, and I got (another) Kaweco Sport the other week with the new EF nib.

The seam between the area with the buttons and the rest of the pants went up on my N&F Elephant 2 weird guys…. a few inches of waxed linen thread fixed that, but I'm a bit curios to find out if this is how the pants are in general quality wise..

[Seul]

Yes.
