I know we have a few pen addicts here, so I thought I would give a review . . .
My wife wanted to get me a pen for Christmas, so I got to choose--within a certain price range, of course
So UPS came today with a Delta Europa fountain pen. It is a beautiful marbled teal color, 18k gold nib (fine), cartridge/converter fill. Very smooth writer, and fits nicely in the hand--a bit longer and heavier than my Pelikan 400.
These can be found for about $100 on the Web (got mine from Oscar Braun's), which is an excellent price for a solid gold nib.
for those of you who aren't in the know. . . pen addiction is closer to knife addiction than you may think--check out the work of David Broadwell and Grayson Tighe!
