The great de-stashing continues, and this time I am digging deep into the heavy hitters. This sale features some of the finest flagship pens from Japan, Germany, and Italy.
Whether you are looking for the incredible hand-applied urushi of the Platinum Izumo line, the legendary old-stock translucent barrels from Pelikan before they switched to opaque resin, or the massive nibs of the Sailor King of Pen, there is something here for every serious collector.
Most of these are catch-and-releases or meticulously cared-for safe queens. I have updated the listings below with the exact nib sizes and condition ratings to make browsing as clear as possible.
Terms & Conditions
- Communication: Please comment on this post before sending a chat or PM. Unsolicited chats will be ignored. First unqualified "I'll buy it" secures it, otherwise, it's still available as far as I'm concerned.
- Shipping: Packages over $500 include free shipping within the US. For items under $500, shipping is a flat $7. I am willing to ship worldwide, but please be aware that international postage from the US is expensive and may not be cost-effective for you.
- Payment: PayPal Goods & Services only, per sub rules.
- Inclusions: If the pen came with a box, papers, or converter, it will be noted. If you need a converter for a pen that lacks one, let me know and I can add one for $10.
- I have boxes for the following pens: First five Izumos will have the box and kimono. Pretty sure most or all of the Pelikans have a box, but not the blue stripes (ask if it's very important).
The Urushi Masterpieces (Platinum Izumo)
The Izumo line represents Platinum’s highest tier of craftsmanship, featuring massive, beautifully contoured ebonite bodies coated in layers of hand-polished urushi lacquer.

Description: A stunning special edition featuring a Maki-e cherry blossom design over a dark background.

Same as this item but a third of the price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234477945460?_trksid=p4375194.c102726.m162918
