The Occasion:  The 70th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel.
The Pen: Commissioned by yours truly-- David R. Isaacson--  from Bexley Pens, this special edition is based on the Bexley Poseidon and embraces an artistic take on the colors of the Israeli flag. The cap, gripping sections and finials are "Israeli flag" blue, while the barrel is pearlescent white. Rhodium plated trim, rather than the usual gold plated, was chosen for a closer aesthetic match. Each cap will have an appropriate laser engraving (still under discussion with the various pen groups), indicating the special edition status for Israel's 70th (possibly in Hebrew as well).  Each pen will carry Bexley registration card and warranty. Two tone stainless large nibs with Bexley logo available Fine, Medium or Broad. Poseiden is a oversized pen, with hefty feel in hand, featuring style cues from classic 1930s American fountain pens. A Mandarin Yellow Poseiden with customized stub nib is one of my daily users at the hospital. I like the shape. Kudos to Howard Levy of Bexley for having custom rod stock whipped up to match the blue of the Israeli flag.  He's done more than I could have expected to let this happen.
Current Status: This is a pre-order opportunity. As with the orange and black special edition Bexley-made pen I commissioned last year, we must get a minimum order to do the run.  The minimum production run is 50, so I must have 35 pens pre-ordered to justify the project. If more are ordered,  I can increase the single production run of course. My SE pen last year sold out quickly.  If you might want an Israel 70th pen, please don't wait. The ordering period will likely be just a week or two. As per last year's successful SE pen, should we not hit minimum order, all Paypal payments of course will be promptly refunded.
Ordering: Each pen will cost $235 + shipping. Shipping in USA will run $12 insured priority mail for the boxed pen. International priority shipping $40 for boxed pen. In your paypal message space, please specify  Fine, Medium, or Broad point. Based on personal experience, Broad points lend themselves to conversion by nibmeisters to excellent stubs, my favorite point.  If you would like a solid gold (no Bexleylogo) nib, upcharge is $180 (availability pending. Gold nbi price might adjust). Please email before ordering to confirm solid gold nib. Ordering will be open only a week or two as we determine if enough orders are present to do the run.

You can join the discussion! This details still are being finalized regarding at least the engraving. The cap can be engraved in the long axis and will be marked at least "Israel 70th Anniversary SE" or equivalent. We're looking into having a Hebrew lettered engraving as well. Might be able to get a Star of David on there somewhere as well. Here are some links:
