I would have placed the order for the pens but honestly the pen samples i saw had some sprinkling of powder which got stuck on the base urushi applied to the tracking, so i want to make sure people admire it only and not find faults. I will take the turtle and crane pen if you recommend it, but i ahve to see a sample befoe anything else. I understnd writing will soct extra but i think i can get the japan message written india fr a lit less they may not be the japan colours or pigments but yes you can always guide me. I had asked you for $100 with box, i will of course pay shipping extra. i have other pens coming to india fr sampling for as low as $75 but i liked your presentation on ebay so i wrote to you also.
If you think you can afford it i will be happy to honour your ebay listing fkr the price and within 4 days of recieving your sample will confirm if there are changes or scope for improvement to my eyes.Send me a standard sample that you think you can reproduce if this is the best, i would lose a little heart.Let know what you have to say and if agreed, send me a mail with revised listing through ebay and i will do a buy it now f you send me the listing number in your return mail.
Also dont you have a ink converter with these pens so i can fill ink into it? I have a good collection of japanese namiki inks and also sme original pigment inks frm Japan so i wou,d like a ink cnverter instead of buying cartridges. That will be gokd for my guests as well. What about the 14 carat gold nib? Will you give that?
