I did it! I was able (finally) to get some used pens for a rather good price*-*
And it seems they're still working..Test will follow later this month for some,others in July..
They were used so..Some of them dont look too good anymore..
There is one..a poor little Silver Blue from 2010..He got badly injured by his previous owner!
I promise,to all Lamy Lovers and Pen maniacs out there:
I'LL GIVFE HIM A WONDERFUL NEW HOME!
with a new job*-*he will write my Letters,yeay!
First the badly injured one along with another Silver Blue,also used but in better shape..
Beautiful,right? I didnt manage to catch the real shade.Its hard..
Left is the "Bad condition" one,
right the better one.I marked the newer looking one with a star ( nail sticker)XD
This way i will not mix them up when i put ink inside both next Month!
I cant wait to use them*-*
Guess i will start with Diamine:
China Blue & Soft Mint
even though i wanted to use China Blue for the French Blue one..i decided to use something more matching ^^
By now we call the color "Sky", but thats only for the Blue ones,with BLACK Clip. The ones with chrome Clip are only called "Blue" ^^
The black clip ones retired 2010.
I also got two of those yes! One used, it came with the French Blue ,Aluminium and one Silverblue..(Right).
Left is the NEW one which i got for a normal price,even though most people want between 75 and 175 euro for a NEW one. I was incredible Lucky!
I marked the new one,also with a nail sticker star ^^
The New one will be filled with J.Herbin's "Bleu Myosotis" i guess.
And the older one with Diamine Bilberry (=Blueberry)
The pictures i saw from the Bilberry blue (dark blue) are really wonderful.
So i hope it really looks that great!*-*
FRENCH BLUE! from 2006!!!! (left)
I love it so much..My Son (10 years old) also fell in Love with this one,and now he wants one on his own T_T It's used..
Because i couldnt affort a new one..Besides most of them are fakes..this is a really rare original item >< I am sooo happy about it!!
The color i will use once my Konverter arrive:
Pilot Iroshizuku : Ajisai. A dream of a Ink!*-*
But so expensive >_< Hopefully i get this ink cheaper soon..
The Right one is called Aluminium and retired 2015!
Still not sure about which ink i will use ^^ Too many beautiful ones in mind*-*
What can i still say? I got 3 nibs..Since most of them had LH nibs (lefthands),which i cant use ^^'
I got one F and 2 M, fairly cheap..Those nibs arent cheap,honestly <_< almost 5 euro for one..
EF costs 9 euro..
I already replaced some of the nibs..Was my first time,and sadly most of the pens were not cleaned before i bought them.They were like glued together in all pieces..Ink even in the shaft,in the cap of one i washed out at least 4ml blue ink! A nightmare.I spent 2 hours cleaning them..
And 4 still arent clean at all >_<
As Fountain Pen Lover,it makes my heart bleed,honestly >_< Please take care of your pens,guysT_T
They just exist to serve you,so be nice to them and thankful!!!
I will show you some of my new pens with ink next time,
once my 6 Konverter arrive*-* Then you can see some of the ink drops i got cheap for testing^^
