Have you emailed Howard Levy at Bexley. I'd start off at the horses mouth & work back...lol.

Have you seen the new Bexley 56? Looks like a RHR Waterman 56. MMM-MMM-MMM!

I like the Posideon in tortoise as well. Howard does some amazing stuff. I used to have a HR Olive ripple 51 with a broad nib he made. Truly amazing work. I still kick myself for selling it.

Haven't e-mailed Howard on the Gemstones, probably will in a day or two.  I recently got a Bexley 56 in Mandarin Yellow, nice pen.

"I recently got a Bexley 56 in Mandarin Yellow"

This yellow thing may be growing in to an obsession my friend. Can I suggest a 12 step group I know....

Love to see the pics. Whats the weight like? Nib? Total length capped/posted?

Wouldn't those 56's look amazing with one of Henry Simpole's overlay's?

The Bexley 56 weighs 0.7 oz.  It is 136.5mm long capped and 171mm long posted.

It's a quite comfortable writer, particularly when posted. I've got big paws and it suits me just fine.

I just scored a nice transparent Emerald Bexley Gemstone from Dennis Bowden. Here's his photo of it:



Now need to find the (transparent) red and blue versions.

I hadn't seen these before Jack. It feels like a Conway Stewart & a Waterman 100 YR pen got busy. Looks like a solid winner to me. Dare I ask how much?

Actually to me it looks like a 100 Year "Demonstrator". Can't wait to get my hands on it; Dennis B. will send it Tuesday more than likely.

Congrats on tracking down another one Jack.

If I'm not mistaken. Andy Abbott (Andy on Pentrace) is a pretty devout Bexley collector as well. Track him down & see what he can do for you.

Pens arrived earlier than expected, naturally to my delight.  Here's a photo of all three Transparent Bexley Gemstone pens, courtesy of Dennis Bowden:
