Waiting for an autumn pen

I not only wait for my Lotus pen - I wait for autumn too. Humidity and temperature are lower and I also like the colours of autumn - see here a time-lapse view - autumn pictures taken in Japan. LINK

I also wait to reach the top of the waiting list at Scriptorium Pens.

Fortune said that reaching the top spot will be a little bit earlier than the autumn colours in Japan.

So I can have a pen in these autumn colours - for autumn. (Fingers crossed that it will work out.)

My idea is to get an Idyll from Scriptorium Pens. Link to Renée Meeks' Idyll HP.

How the pen will exactly look like can only be decided when I am the top of the waiting list - 1-2 more months to wait. But the pen seems to be ready for the autumn season.

I don't need a clip.

I plan to have a JoWo #6 18K in F.

There are four pen sizes available - see chart below. My preferred pen size is the MB149. That would be a medium but I will see how the Lotus pen feels like - which would be a Large.

Waiting is awful - sometimes.

Slimming down

Update: I started selling - see my sales pages : In order to sell most of my pens, I first had to made up my mind what I want to keep. May I present here my target collection, the ones to keep. It is a page in progress, there are still many holes in the data. Waldmann Pens Counting from the left, pen 1-4, 7-10 are the same model: the model Precieux (Deep Wide) Lines in Sterling silver. Pen 8-10 are the original model (fountain pen, mechanical pencil and ball-pen). Pen 1-4 are the yellow-gold vermeil version of it (mechanical pencil, rollerball, ball-pen and fountain pen) and pen 7 is the rose-gold vermeil version of the fountain pen. The rose-gold fountain pen has a rose-gold-plated 18k nib. Pen 6 is the same model in steel, coated in black (Waldmann P2000). But it is not a typical steel, it is a recycled steel from gun barrels recycled by the German police. It is a limited edition, meanwhile sold out. Read more about it here . Unfortunately, the silver model is meanwhile als...

Waldmann Pen's catalogs 2008-2024

The company Waldmann Pens exists since more than 100 years. Due to destruction of the Waldmann factory including the archives during WWII, all information before this event is lost. After the death of the founder in 1964, the owner changed several times until in 2007, the recent owner, Stefan Schnirch, took over. And only since his start, catalogs of the produced models exist. You can see and download the catalogs from 2008 until 2024 from my Goggle Drive. I got permission from Mr. Schnirch to offer them here. GoogleDrive

"Gemini pens"

It's play time. I asked Gemini to create some fountain pens. Unfortunately, Gemini still has some problems in creating a fountain pen. I am still working on how to make reliably such a pen with Gemini. The problem could be with my prompts or it could be on the Gemini side. Nevertheless - enjoy!
