At this point, I’ve probably identified all the pens I will purchase through the end of the year and I probably will not be able to purchase any significant new pens in 2010 due to graduate school. In all cases, I have the pens lined up:
Conway Stewart Elements (fallback: Yellow Plumage) Danitrio Bat Pen (Komori) Danitrio Fellowship Pen Dragon Pens: Jules Stipula Iris
I’m always open to Titanium-nibbed Stipula pens, though, so please feel free to contact me if you have one you want to re-home, even if it’s not currently working.

But First, a Note20 Apr 2008
These are pens I find interesting. In some cases, I want “one of” a few pens, rather than one of everything on the list.
I won’t be buying anything that’s not on this list, but this list will grow and shrink over time.
Items are in alphabetical order, which doesn’t correlate to order of desire.
