Quick & seamless purchase of a rare Omas Aventador

I purchased the rare Omas Aventador from Penbox, and Steve was very helpful and prompt in reserving the pen. His prices are very reasonable, especially if you are looking for specific editions. The Omas I ordered came promptly and was very well packed. I would strongly recommend this shop for their eclectic collection as well as excellent customer service!

Excellent service from Penbox - repeat customer

I've made a couple of purchases from Penbox recently. Both have been excellent - Steve is very helpful, very knowledgable, and his prices are good. In both cases, the items I ordered came promptly and were very well packed. I can wholeheartedly recommend!

This is a superb shop

The owner is a delightful gentleman who is most knowledgeable and helpful.

The pen price was good and the service and shipping were as good as it gets.

I shall shop here as a preference in future.

Thanks again to Steve at Penbox who managed to find me a 23k palladium nib that no one else was able to supply.

My third solid silver Sheaffer so far

Penbox is the place to go if you are after a limited edition Sheaffer silver fountain pen.
Bought two Legacy last year and treated myself to a Centennial last week.
Prompt delivery and a very decent price as always.
Highly recommended.

Special edition pens

Bought 3 special edition pens recently. Had many fruitful calls and emails with Steve to help me with my decision making. He could not have been more informative and helpful. I only hope that the recipients of the pens are as impressed as I am.

Replacement Nib Service

I damaged an expensive pen nib many years ago and tried without success to find a replacement nib. Purchased in the 1980s the pen and replacement parts were almost impossible to source. Even the manufacturer couldn't assist.

Pen Box were very helpful and had a new replacement stub nib in stock that was actually better than the fine nib originally supplied with the pen.

Thanks for the great service
