A months worth of TWSBI acquisitions posts is a lot of fist shaking his arm will get soar
Lovely pen, James!
I have one in Blue! They are very nice pens.

Here is a view of the parts and spare parts
The orings seal the metal collar to the feed section, as most pens do not quite do it this way I was surprised to see them

I'll probably get the Heritage too at some point soon...I won't be able to resist

The big conspiracy...
Either there is still no TWSBI reviews or they are keeping them away from the other pen revoews in the sticky
I say we need a 580 review, mini and micarta... we get all of them up and the powers that be can not keep twsbis out any longer....
Whose with me
Which is my way of sayin, teams been busy and will add this later but we need other twsbi reviews.... just sayin

I'll put a 580 review together once it comes in....USPS says either CA or over the Pacific somewhere...
I am eyeballing 580s- if I get one I will do a review.
Personally I have these 2 Crescent Filler Conklins with a #3 flexy toledo nibs I just filled. Hard Rubber, hold a boatload of ink.... and I know they will last a long time...They are already approximately 95 years old.
One of them cost me 50.00 2 years ago.... the other 40 just last August
Rather have these then any TWSBI

Me too,... but the Goulets dont carry the 95 year old Conklins lol, and its tough for me to trust an auction site for something like that.
The twsbi makes a great work pen, I like it but if it falls and breaks, no big deal I can choose to replace or not, a pen like you conklin would be way more fun,.. but wouldnt come to work with me as I wouldnt trust it there
I need to find some of these super vintage flexy things,... but we will see about DC next year and whether I can make that happen or not for something like that
I will trade any of my TWSBIs that I have for that Conklin with the Toledo nib you showed me that time! That flexy nib was great!
I need some vintage flex in my life.

Online they don't... but I guess what I would have to pay to go to a pen show offline wouldn't be much better
All the ones I saw at the pen show today were more than I paid for my Waterman by a fair amount...
Just found a TWSBI dealer in Seoul....don't event have #1 in from the Post yet and already eyeballing others...
A very good review of the pen, thanks. I have a few 540's which are laying around. I like the Vac 700 too. The new 580 Rose Gold is rather a classy looking new entrant on the market from TWSBI but not yet available in Canada from Wonder Pens and they ship for $6 or 7 dollars from Toronto so I shall wait for them to carry it.
