Just received my Pelikan from Mike Masuyama. It would skip on a regular basis, straight from the factory and had some flow issues as well. I’m excited to use this for the week.
Two vintage pens. Top, Waterman's Ideal 3V with Akkerman #5 shocking blue ink. This pen must be close to empty. On the left, Mabie Todd Swan 3150 with Namiki Blue ink. The Waterman is prettier, but the Mabie Todd is a nicer writer.
