Sheaffer Legacy Ii Jim Gaston Limited Edition

[HalloweenHJB]

I had a wonderful Targa 1005 that my father passed down to me, so when I saw a big, full-bodied Sheaffer Legacy II, with a BROAD stub nib, I had to jump on it. I am very pleased that I did! The nib is a wonder, and although I'm not 100% sold on the "touchdown" filler, I love the look, the feel, the bold line it produces.

 

 

This is one beautiful nib!

 

 

And a quick writing sample [with scented de Atramentis Myrrh ink]. I'm thinking of filling it with J. Herbin Rouge Hématite and doing my greeting cards with it!

Congratulations. Those Ft Madison stubs are fantastic. And I love the Jim Gaston Legacies too.

That blue one is GORGEOUS! <3 And the nib on the one posted by the OP is droolworthy, for sure.

 

What is this Jim Gaston LE thing? I had never heard of him before.
