The first I want it email sent to me at vintagedelights01@gmail.com takes it home. 

First class USA shipping w/ Delivery Confirmation. Free 
First class uninsured international shipping. $10.00 Insured w/ tracking $35 

This set is a one of a kind prototype from the briefly revived Conklin pen co. I got these from President Harold Rosenberg's (sp?) widow Judy a 2 or 3 years ago. She told me this set was a one of a kind Harold brought home for her approval, liked it so much she kept it. 

NOS uninked FP. Semi hooded steel medium nib. BP & RB are both perfect. BEAUTIFUL butterscotch swirl. 10/10 perfect condition.

That is very pretty. It reminds me of sweets I had as a kid. I am curious why you chose a small "cayman mouth" style nib for it.

It wasn't me. It was Harold Rosenberg (sp?) that designed and made it before his passing. The 'hood/shell' unscrew to reveal a full size nib. It's a very interesting design IMHO. Look at the thick 'lug' style threads in the nib close up. I dig that too.

PS: The material isn't as dark as it looks in the pics. It's more of a light honey amber..
