Found this for free at an estate sale today (thrown in with my purchase). They had a Waterman that sold before I got there...got to get up early I guess!
@DukeNDuke what color is that?
Looks nice! Sorry about the Metro. Too bad Pilot doesn't sell the nibs separately. I guess that's the downside of proprietary nibs.
Absolutely! Of course, the traffic in that area is a bear, so you know, that may deter some folks. But it’s a fun little shop. It kind of reminded me of a small jewelry shop, but instead of jewelry, the cases were filled with pens. All kinds of pens. There were shelves full of ink bottle boxes and a back wall covered in ballpoint refills. I felt like I used to feel walking into a comic book shop when I was a kid.I haven't been to Bertram’s Inkwell in Rockville, MD? Worth a look?
New ink! So far so good, loaded in my M200 brown marble.
Great looking pen. He should be happy.My son expressed an interest in glass nib dip pens.
Yesterday I found this in the Salvation Army Thrift Store for $7.99:

That entire scribble (with hardly any breaks) is from a single dip in a bottle of Black Quink.

And hey, guess what? His birthday is in early June, and blue is his favourite colour.
