Acrylic Franklin-Christoph Pens

[andrew98]

Who has an acrylic F-C fountain pen? I bought a Model 02 Intrinsic some time ago, and it's easily one of my favorite pens now. I like everything about it. It was one of their demo pens used around their office. It was in the Stock Room on their website for a good price, and it arrived in pristine condition.

I've been considering a Model 65 with a broad stub nib and, perhaps one day down the road, a Model 40 Pocket (fine nib, clipless with an orange finial).

I think F-C offers some really unique and interesting designs that are worth considering. Also, the few nibs of theirs that I've tried have been outstanding. They're somewhat pricey pens, but they're made in the USA, and F-C offers wonderful customer service.

all i can say is that I have two of the B&B pens. One Broad Italic, one Medium Italic.
Both, most excellent!
The Medium is a daily user, the Broad I am offering as a PIF for a contest in the Straight Razor forum, so I cleaned it up and put it in storage.

Another member here told me the broad and medium italics weren't that different with regard to the line width they write.

That'll be the day! I'd happily loan it to you, but it's a keeper for sure. It's easily one of my favorites.

I was surprised how crisp their italics are.
