This was a bit of an adventure. Vazir Meteor Shower in Blue w/1.1 Stub nib. Looks & writes great, but ordering was odd. My order still only shows "Confirmed". I had no idea it shipped until the PO attempted delivery. Going by tracking it took about a month total, with two weeks of that being shipping from India to the US.

I've had an eye on stacked celluloid pens but this is the first one I found that was modern, reasonably priced, and had a unique look.

Photo of the Vazir Meteor Shower pen in a case. The pen is primarily blue with angled rows of material under the surface which catch the light in different colors including dark blues, yellows, and reds. The pen is sitting on top of a fabric pen pouch which is light blue with a flowery design in yellow thread. Under that is a padded bottom with an elastic strap. The gift box in which the pen sits is some sort of hardboard/soft wood like MDF. It is light brown inside. The outside of the box appears to be coating in brown leather-like material with stitching around the edges. The Vazir name is visible in the bottom right corner.
Photo of a fountain pen nib. The nib is yellow in color but is not gold. The tip of the nib is flat with rounded corners (stub). There is an outline near the edge of the nib. Inside that are some engraved curving lines which branch off in various swirls. In the center is the breather hole and underneath that is a dark engraving of a chess piece which appears to be a queen. Under the logo is stamped "1.1" indicating the nib size as 1.1mm.
Photo of a writing sample which reads: "Vazir Meteor Shower - Blue - 1.1 stub Endless Alchemy Candy Sea Pack my box full of five dozen liquor jugs" Under the writing sample is the uncapped pen, sitting at an angle, resting against its cap.
