Okay Im Ready, The Best Pen for Around 100 schmackers

[syngent]

So i went through a tough time there for a bit, a friend got me in some financial hot water, after some moving and grooving i got myself back on track and even saved some money to get that one nice pen i wanted for myself

but i need help, i have about 100 bucks to spend maybe a little extra if its well worth it,...

i want an italic nib cause its makes my chicken scratch look perrdy like i know what i am doing, i was looking at the Monteverde pens, no italics but they have the stub,... both the Blue Napa, and stylus invincias are nice, but before i drop the coin anyone have a show stopper i should certianly check out ?

thanks in advance for the advise

I really like the Bellus. I have a 14s with the magnetic capping and it is great

Oh that second one is eye candy for sure i like that one indeed,... would medium italic be 1.1 and broad be a 1.5 ?

 

[syngent]

That 29 will be hard to beat, i like that more then the MV for sure

James, good luck and let me know how the pen writes if you get it. They sure look very nice.

 

[syngent]

Celestino do you write ? use a fountain pen ?

 

[brianw]

for me a medium italic is approx .9 where a b is 1.1 and BB 1.3

The nice part about Scott Franklins pens are all nib strokes are the same price......
