Got a fair price on ebay on a couple of Sailor 21s. Love them, but modern converters seem to fit only in theory.
Cutting them down works, but also makes it nearly impossible to advance or retract, because there's no leverage on the screw that moves the plunger.
Am I missing an obvious source here?
Edit: They can be made to unscrew if a syringe is used to push the plunger up consistently, there's just enough to grab onto. Still not ideal, but...
Bay State Blue (practically indelible), and Polar Green (supposedly resists common forger's tools.)
Both are opened, and maybe 5-10 % used.
Goulet wants $14 for a new bottle, I'd go $10 each / $14 for both USD.
Alternatively, open to trades.
PPG&S only
Currently inked list just keeps getting longer...
Context: I take a ton of notes in meetings, journal, and make lists - for now, I have them all lined up on my left. I take one from the right, use it, and when I put it down it goes on the left.
Next time I need a pen, I grab the next one, and so on. Makes it much easier to discern where things start and end.

Each written with the pen and ink combo in question.
Do we have a wiki? Didn't see one, in the sidebar. Would be willing to host and port content from r/fp. There was some very useful data/collected wisdom there.
Wiki is up at Pen Swap Wiki
I'll update shortly with rules, etc.
Automod or similar probably coming soon, to keep out the crap and scammers.
Long shot, but since this is a Goulet exclusive that I really want and I just can't quite justify the new price...
I'll never pare the cheap stuff out of my collection completely, too many "but I have to know what that ink looks like!!!!!" moments, but I'm trying to be intentional about tools that I enjoy, and this would be one.
Open on price.

Hello, and welcome to Pen Swap. Sidebars, rules, etc. are still in development, and additional mods are welcome.
Edit 23-08-10: It's live, and there's even some content there. Descend freely upon it, y'all know what to do. :) Working on rules, wiki, and the trappings of communities that aren't yet baked into the codebase.

Nice to meet you all, I used to be active over on the other place...
One of the resources I liked having was Pen_Swap - is there any interest here in something like that?
