wiemerimerI took advantage of this--my Excalibur medium is already on its way to me from Levenger for ~$43 (with $6 shipping). After waiting since October for my Italix Parsons Essential from Massdrop (still waiting, thanks to DHL!), i figured buying direct was the best decision for this particular pen.
imosJust got mine yesterday (in Excalibur) from Levenger. Wonderfully smooth writer. No converter or inkflow issues. I cut a small piece out of the foam in the very-cool box so i can fit the pen with stylus attached.
Anyway, for color reference, i'd call Excalibur a matte gray with a touch of green. In the pic, below/right is my Sheaffer 300 Metallic Gray (really more of a brown), and above/left is my Parker Urban Premium Matte Black
writerstephenI'm envious yours flows well. Mine (that I purchased months ago now) had horrendous flow issues that I simply could not fix no matter what I tried. I ended up purchasing a Franklin-Christoph nib and it's worked beautifully since.
(It's darker than actual moss, but the color is still a nice green)
