[GIVEAWAY] 1960's Geha 725 'F' nib
Dear r/fountainpens
Fountain pens have been with me through thick and thin. They've helped me through my studies, I've met some great people through the hobby and made memories for life.
My love for fountain pens has also been fueled by other people's generosity. The kind woman from the US, who gifted me a Desiderata prototype and sparked my love for calligraphy, and Bill from Canada, who sent me two beautiful Japanese pens which I used for note taking throughout my university years. In both cases, these pens found their way to me when I otherwise wouldn't not have been able to afford them. The generosity of these people had one objective; to make somebody's day.
I'm hoping to make one of yours. Ideally I'm looking for someone who has been in the hobby for a couple months, loves writing and does not yet have their first gold nibbed pen. I'm looking for someone who will use and love the pen, but ultimately; once it's yours, it's yours. I know it can be difficult to determine one's preferences this early, but the Geha 725 is very slim, so please keep that in mind before applying.
What I have here is a lovely and quite rare-to-find Geha 725. It is a German piston filler from the 1960's and was one of the flagships of the time period. It has one of the prettiest inlaid nib designs in my opinion. It's a phenomenal writer; a piston filler with a blue ink window. It's been used a lot throughout the years, and it shows. It has some deep marks on the section from the pen being used as an everyday pen and a little hairline near the clip. With all that said, it works perfectly and writes beautifully and will serve you well for many years to come. I think it's quite the stunner, please see pictures: https://imgur.com/a/geha-goldschwinge-725-dsHIYMm
Please comment here why you'd like the pen. Include your country. I don't want any upvotes or anything in return. If you insist on doing something, then I'd appreciate a handwritten letter and that you remember the feeling, so that you may pass that feeling on to someone else in the future. I'll pay postage to your place (using national post service), but you are responsible in the event there are any import fees in your country.
Available to all countries I can ship to from Denmark using the national postal service. I will pick a person from the comments on Wednesday, December 18th.
