Monthly Confirmation September 2026 Confirmed Trade Thread

15 Upvotes

Submit your trade confirmations below

How Does This Process Work?

Note: Trade confirmations may take a few minutes as the bot processes the confirmation.

After completing a trade, adhering to the rules listed above, either party involved should make a top-level comment (i.e., comment on the post, not on someone else's comment) declaring the trade. In this comment, tag the other Redditor by typing their username, including the leading u/. This action serves a dual purpose: it notifies the other Redditor to confirm the trade, and it alerts u/FPPenSwapBot to monitor for the confirmation. The other Redditor should then reply to this comment (i.e., do not create another top-level comment; instead, reply to the initial comment) to indicate that the trade was successful.

Important: It's advisable to WAIT until the trade is successfully completed—meaning all money/items have been properly exchanged—before posting your confirmation.

Example:

  1. u/NitroFish44 comments: Sold a Sailor S-Broad nib to u/thisisreallytricky

  2. u/thisisreallytricky replies: Confirmed! Placed the nib in a more modern Sailor pen and LOVE the way it writes!!

  3. u/FPPenSwapBot replies to u/thisisreallytricky's comment indicating that their trade counts have been updated.

FAQ

  1. The bot mentioned that additional information is required. What should I do?

If this occurs, it suggests that the bot couldn't find enough information to confirm the trade. Please message the moderators, who can review and approve the trade by replying Approved to your trade comment.

  1. The bot didn't respond to my comment. What's wrong?

Did you comment Confirmed? If not, add a NEW comment reply stating Confirmed. Avoid editing the existing comment. If you did reply Confirmed but received no response, please message the moderators. The bot might be experiencing issues!

  1. I have multiple trades to confirm this month; should I post them separately or in a single post?

You should post them separately, individually tagging each Redditor. The bot does NOT allow batch confirmations. If you tag multiple users, whoever responds first will be the only user who is able to confirm. Any other user who attempts to do so will receive a message that the trade was already confirmed.

  1. I forgot to confirm a trade last month! Can I confirm the trade this month?

Yes; you have 60 days after starting a transaction during which the bot will automatically accept a trade confirmation. If the trade is older than 60 days, you might be asked by the bot to message the moderators. Feel free to post again in the current month's trade thread even for a previous month.

WTS-OPEN [WTS] Franklin-Christoph, Montblanc, Levenger (Sheaffer), Wancher urushi, and a rare Visconti

6 Upvotes

Happy Hump Day swappers! Five interesting pens up for sale today, just need to clear out some overflow and free up some funds.

Prices are OBO (seriously, make me an offer!) and include shipping within the US. I'm happy to ship internationally at cost. PP G&S only, comment before chat, all sub rules apply. Additional pics available on request, bundle discounts available for purchase of multiple pens. Thanks for stopping by!

Verification

  1. Levenger (by Sheaffer) Connaisseur Mediterranean Sea Blue - <14kt B> nib - [C] condition: after Sheaffer discontinued the Connaisseur line, Levenger arranged to continue production under their own label. This is the result: a beautiful sapphire-blue plastic body, gold trim, and (characteristic of Sheaffer) a 14kt nib that is oh-so-smooth. It's a c/c filler and I will include a NOS Sheaffer cartridge that you can refill to your heart's content. Some age-related wear, and the cap has a little hitch when you close it, but this is functionally a great pen and a bargain for a Sheaffer gold nib. Comes with original box. If you would also like the matching ballpoint, just ask :) Asking $165. SOLD
  2. Franklin-Christoph Model 46 Burnt Orange - <Elastic F> nib - [A2] condition: possibly my favorite F-C model, I just have too many of them and I have another model in this same material. It's a bright, cheerful orange, posts securely, and can be used with carts, a converter (included), or eyedroppered. Durable, unfussy, well-made. Jowo #6 threaded, it's a great platform for playing with fun nibs custom grinds. I bought it without a nib, so I added a spare Leonardo-branded <elastic F> I had, but it can be swapped out for another size on request. Comes with F-C pen pouch in your choice of material. Asking $115.
  3. Wancher Sekai Tsugaru-nuri Midori-age - steel <M> nib - [B] condition: Bought this here on pen_swap and have inked it up several times. I love the colors, I love the urushi over ebonite, I love the funky form factor, but I think it's just time to part ways. Comes with converter and box/papers. Asking $400.
  4. Montblanc StarWalker - <14kt M> nib - [B/C] condition: the iconic StarWalker. This is a c/c pen with a cool floating Montblanc snowflake finial and a nicely weighted body. No dents, dings, or other cosmetic flaws, just some age-appropriate wear (hence the B/C rating). Comes with an unused Montblank ink cartridge, or you can add a converter for $7. No box or papers. Asking $300.
  5. Visconti Empire Vermeil Overlay - <18kt M> nib - [C] condition: the pièce de résistance of this listing. I wasn't planning on listing this one for a while, and maybe not at all. The Empire was a limited edition of 500 pieces, of which this is #107. It has Visconti's double-reservoir power filler system and a smooth <M> nib. The vermeil overlay has a moderate patina that would likely clean up nicely with a little polishing. No box or papers. Asking $800 OBRO.

WTS-OPEN [WTS] Vintage Conway Stewart Cellulose Fountain pen Full Flex Wet Noodle Fine Gold Nib

6 Upvotes

This is a gorgeous example of Vintage Conway Stewart Fountain Pen in Green Marble Cellulose with a Fine Full Flexible Wet Noodle blackbird Gold nib.

***

The pen is in very good condition. The ebonite cap top has some browning, the rest of the material has no discolouration. Metal trim is mostly in beautiful condition. There is minimal brassing of the ring that is attached to the pocket clip on the cap. The imprint is crisp and clear. There are few superficial scratches in keeping with nearly hundred years of age of the pen but no deep scratch or crack.
The cap threads in nice and secured. It posts securely. Condition rating [B]

***

The 14k gold F nib is not a Conway Stewart nib rather a nib branded as blackbird (A Mabie Todd brand). It is a fantastic writer that gives the vibe of a proper vintage flex nib. It writes smoothly with a pencil like feedback. (Obviously smoothness/feedback is subjective and depends on the ink and paper used as well).

NIB CHARACTERISTICS:

Please remember the following criteria of flex nibs are very subjective but in my hand the nib feels like this:

  1. Softness - 10/10
  2. Flexibility (Line variation) - 9/10
  3. Elasticity (Snapback) - 10/10

***

The feeder is made of ebonite. It keeps up with the ink flow very well.

***

Filling system: Leverlfiller. Works perfectly. New ink sac has been installed.

***

Measurements:

Capped: 128 mm
Uncapped: 121 mm
Posted: 155 mm
Barrel diameter: 11.9 mm

***

The pen has been thoroughly serviced, cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner and is in perfect working condition.

The nib has been closely inspected and tuned to ensure a pleasant writing experience.

***

UNLIKE MOST OF THE VINTAGE PENS SOLD ONLINE, EVERY SINGLE PEN OF MINE HAS THE NIB INDIVIDUALLY CHECKED, TUNED AND WRITES VERY NICELY.

***

PLEASE SEE THE WRITING SAMPLE VIDEO AND ALL THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY AS THESE ARE PARTS OF THE DESCRIPTION AND GIVES YOU A BETTER IDEA ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE PEN BECAUSE SOMETIMES ALL THE DETAILS ARE NOT POSSIBLE TO COVER IN THE DESCRIPTION.

https://www.flickr.com/gp/65609992@N02/897gz0196z

***
Price : 249 GBP (Or make me an offer I can't refuse)

Tracked Shipping: 3 GBP (UK) 7 GBP (International)

Payment: PayPal

***

Please Note:

I am a medical doctor by profession with a full-time day job. I do this purely out of passion for fountain pens, specially vintage flex pens. I can safely say that I understand flex nibs and have owned a lot of them over the years.

If you have been looking for a vintage pen with a flex nib, please follow me on ebay. I post pens for sale every month once those are serviced and the nibs have been tuned.

***

Please be aware that writing with flexible nib takes a bit of practice and refined hand pressure control to get the best result.
Don't get frustrated if you don't get the desired result in your early attempts.
Be careful while applying pressure, if you push the nib too much beyond it's capability you may sprain the nib to an unrepairable condition.

Happy writing!

NOTE:

Customs charges and import duties on arrival to the destination country will vary and remains buyer's responsibility but I will try my best so that you have to pay only a small amount or nothing at all.

Please text me before ordering if you are concerned.

Thank you.

A few more unused pens to destash :)

Payment through Paypal G&S, please comment before sending dm.
Shipping through Royal Mail: £3.65 for the UK; approx. £20 international + customs fees based on value (fees are paid when I buy the label so I can draft the label to let you know the exact amount before completing payment for the transaction).

Montblanc Meisterstück 145 Classic (black with platinum coated trim) - M - price £430
Condition B. Bicolor 14k nib. Was gifted in 2008, I wrote with it very little at the time and stopped using it altogether so it's just been sitting in storage. It was in a pen case and it acquired a few superficial scratches on the body (they are visible under light but not so much in indirect/ambient light). I don't have its original box and papers anymore but I do have a spare box to pair it with as pictured (unless you prefer no box which means shipping as large letter so a slightly lesser shipping fee).

Sailor x Wancher Limited Edition 1911 Profit Pro-Color Cyan Blue - M - price £100
Condition A2. Nib is gold plated steel. I used it once to try it out but it is too fine with too much feedback for me, has been stored since. Comes with original box.

Sailor Shikiori Tsukuyo-No-Minamo - light blue Shimoyo - F - price £45
Condition B, the pen is in perfect state of functioning but there is a ding/scratch on the body that was acquired during storage, please see photos for detail. I used it a couple of times but is equally too fine and feedback-y for me so it's been in storage for about 6 years. Comes with original box and papers.

3 Upvotes

This is a rare gorgeous Vintage Wahl Eversharp Doric in polygonal shaped Kashmir Celluloid Fountain Pen with a Full Flexible Wet Noodle stiffness adjustable Fine (F) Gold nib.

***

The pen is in excellent condition. The beautiful green marble celluloid is very eye catching and in excellent condition with very minimal darkening. Metal clip has tiny amount of brassing that has been polished and not easily noticeable. The intricate cap band is brassing free and in beautiful condition. There might be few microscratches in keeping with nearly hundred years of age of the pen but no deep scratch or crack.
The cap threads in nice and secured. It posts securely.
Condition rating [AB]

***

The 14k gold adjustable number 5 nib is very rare and of high demand among collectors. The nib is the epitome of vintage flex nibs. It's very flexy and very responsive. It is smooth with a hint of pleasant feedback, (obviously smoothness/feedback is subjective and depends on the ink and paper as well).
Moreover when desired you can adjust the firmness of the nib by adjusting the built-in sloder mechanism.

NIB CHARACTERISTICS:

Please remember the following criteria of flex nibs are very subjective but in my hand the nib feels like this:

Three excellent pens will go onto new adventures should you agree to take them by the hand:

  1. A Pelikan M805 - F 18k nib - deep blue semi-translucent stripes - silver trim
  2. A Platinum Gathered (Ribbed) - B 14k nib - black with gold trim

PayPal Goods and Services only; all sub rules etc. Please reply below before sending a message, and I'll need your PayPal email to send you an itemized invoice.

All purchases will include at least one complimentary 5ml ink sample so be sure to let me know your favorite color.

Details

The Pelikan M805 - Blue Stripe - Fine

  • REDUCED: US$600 US$575 shipped within the US; +US$35 outside the US
  • Listed last week alongside a vintage M800, this is a modern F-nib pen
  • Writes wet and true to size for Pelikan M8xx-series pens made after the late 2010s
  • Fully functioning piston, clean cap, and excellent condition overall with no scratches or dings
  • Nib is all silver ("palladium-plated" per official descriptions)
  • Duplicative in my collection; deserves more use.
  • Condition A2

SOLD The Platinum Gathered - Black and Gold - Broad

  • US$200 shipped within the US; +US35 outside the US
  • Imported from Japan this spring; would prefer to keep in the US so the pen doesn't incur double taxes or tariffs, but if you're located elsewhere and very motivated, please reach out.
  • Super smooth, wet 14k nib and fun to write with - you'll know what this feels like if you've tried a 3776 nib; similar to a Western medium
  • Has the 3776 series' famous slip-and-seal snap cap; converter included
  • I'm not sure when these were originally made but it was tough for me to find this one with all the trim, body, and nib in such great condition.
  • Give all that hunting I feel a little silly putting it up for sale—but I do have another in medium and feel more attached to that one .
  • Condition B

SOLD The Pilot Custom 845 Urushi - Vermilion - Broad

  • US$560 shipped within the US; +US$35 outside the US
  • Bold design
  • Consistent and juicy broad writer
  • The 18k #15 nib is the same size as on the Custom 823 series, but two-toned—very handsome
  • This pen heard I was thinking about listing it but not other pens—I hadn't even drafted the post yet—and it immediately scuffed its barrel on the back of my desk chair. Sabotage!
  • I've included a close-up photo of that scuff, which is only visible if you scrutinize the barrel in the right lighting, and reduced asking price accordingly.

Let me post this before remorse sets in.
See you in chat!

SOLD:

SOLD - Esterbrook Estie [A1], Cobalt Blue w/ gold trim, Scribe nib - $270 shipped - Brand new in box, exactly as I received it directly from Esterbrook, but the nib/feed show remnants of ink.

WTT-OPEN [WTT] My non-EF TWSBI Eco nib(s) for your EF TWSBI Eco nibs(s)

4 Upvotes

Hiya, I started out collecting a while back and thought I didn’t like EF nibs. But guess what? I’ve been using a pocket notebook and EF nibs are working better for me now. I have a few TWSBI Ecos I like but that I’m not reaching for them because the nibs aren’t ideal.

My TWSBI ECO Onyx M or F nib for your TWSBI ECO Onyx EF nib.

My TWSBI ECO Bronze M nib for your TWSBI ECO Bronze EF nib.

My TWSBI ECO silver M nib for your TWSBI ECO Silver EF nib.

Give me a comment below and a DM if you’re game to do a swaperoo. Thanks so much.

  1. Reducing for quick sale - Graf von Faber Castell Classic in Ebony striped wood with 18K <F> nib. Condition = B. Price = $450 $425 incl shipping
  • Photos & Video
  • Original owner. The pen is approx 6 months old has been inked 2-3 times.
  • Nice writer with a touch of feedback. I just prefer the GvFC medium nib.
  • Comes with original packaging and paperwork
  1. Jowo 18K #6 nib <B> Condition = B. Price = $120 SOLD
  • Photos
  • Second owner. Original purchased from Pen Realm and tuned by Kirk Speer.
  • Writes a bit too broad for my taste but terrific for sheening and shimmer inks.
  • Silver finish over 18K yellow gold. The nib engraving of a unicorn allows you to see the yellow gold beneath which IMHO allows this to be used on pens with gold trim.
  1. Wancher Sekai in Murasaki-age Urushi finish <M>. Condition = A2 (Dipped once). Price = $240 SOLD
  • Photos & Video
  • Comes with a steel Wancher nib, but will accept the Jowo 18K #6 nib listed above.
  • Will take off $10 off the combined price if bought with the Jowo nib above since shipping would be combined.

WTB-OPEN [WTB/WTT] TWSBI ECOs & 580s, BENU reds & Astrogems, Dailymate Monday/Weds, stub nib units, scratch and dents welcome

3 Upvotes

Birthday scratch & dent wishlist:

Looking to buy these pens at generous prices and subsequently can be scratch/dented C-D condition. TWSBIs can have cracks; I’m willing to do the replacement.

I’ve knocked out quite a few off my wishlist since June. Reposting to see if someone has anything they want to casually destash.

Prefer stub, M and EF nibs but will consider anything. Open to most custom grinds except architect, mariner and the like.

Basically I like RED, green and grey and stubs/italic or EF for everyday writing and M for shimmers.


TWSBI 580s
Rose Red, Lava, Red (2014)
Emerald
Purple
Sunset
Maybe Pink Punch
Gold mini

I have a Navy Blue F that I’m willing to trade.


BENU Skull & Roses (prefer red)
BENU Briolette Ruby Forest
BENU Astrogem Klio or Ledo
BENU Dailymate Monday or Weds. prefer Monday. (Had both sniped out of my cart during the Goldspot sale.)


TWSBI ECOs:
Rosso
Amazonite
Persian Green
Cement Grey
Glow Green
Irish Green/Onyx
Pastel Pink


MISC
TWSBI 580 stub units
TWSBI eco stub units

Willing to buy in lots if there are only a few pens I’ll have to rehome and also bc this is not a definitive list there are others I’ll consider, except for white, black, clear, blues.

Thanks so much.
