OK. That is VERY cool! I want to change my vote! Visconti . Pfft! Silly me.
Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age. I really like the look of that pen but I will admit to some serious reservations regarding their nib QC. I don't expect to pay out that much for a pen and then have to send it to a nibmeister to get it to write properly. It is all dreaming anyway. No way I can spend that on a pen any time soon and I've more than enough of my own pens to rediscover.
A titanium Kaweco Sport (not Majohn's take). It's a grail because it doesn't exist yet, but I'm not giving up hope.
Realistically speaking, a CAISO Conid Kingsize demonstrator and a Conid Regular R DCB DB FT TI model are the two grails.
Not sure if it's my grail pen but lately I've been drooling over Maki-e pens, especially the Platinum 3776 urushi maki-e. I'm currently looking for a new job and I think when I get one it will be my present to myself.
I am happy to say that I have none now. Not that I have gotten all the pens I fell in love with but I am happy with my 2023 purchase. Maybe as 2024 rolls around I may reopen the conversation with myself again.
For a long time, mine was the Lamy 2000. Now that I have it, I do love it - but I'm a little worried to take it out of the house.
