On the 30th of October, I received an email from Brian Gray saying my pen was dispatched. I was waiting desperately for it since then. However things took a wrong turn when I saw that my pen went to Brazil instead of meeting me here in India. I waited for a couple of days and called Brian and requested him to take a look at it. He immediately contacted USPS and found that they filed their paper work to Brazil instead and asked me to wait for a couple of days more. He asked me not to worry about it and if required he said he will make another pen for me from the same material or will offer me the Artist Proof of the Glenmont 2014 LE. I waited for a week and there was no change on the USPS website. I called up Brian again, and he asked me which option I preferred. I said I am fine with the Artist Proof (LE AP). He dispatched the pen on the 26th of November and it arrived today, on the 17th of December. Wow...what a pen!!! Words can't do justice to the beauty. One has to look at the pen in person to appreciate it. Craftsmanship is amazing with great attention to detail. In short, the pen was oozing quality. Usually pens that look great end up not writing that great and that shatters the experience, but this one wasn't like that. It wrote perfectly out of the box, I had asked Brian for a 1.1 mm stub and it writes exactly the way it should. Nib has just the right amount of tooth that I like. My apologies for the horrible photography. I miserably failed to capture the beauty of the pen (this is from the mobile phone). Writing sample: Engraving: The Point: Pen chilling out: I love the pen so much for the following reasons (it deserves anywhere between 9.5 and 10 out of 10 points)- Pen looks and feels rock solid, yet surprisingly light for its proportions. The stress points like the cap lip etc. are made very thick and won't break easily. The stub nib tuned by Brian is a dream to write with. Brian's customer service is top notch, probably the best I've seen till now. I already see some people staring at the pen in envy! Whatever the reason is, I got the Artist Proof of the Limited Edition which is a special thing, sounds more unique to me. I take the opportunity to thank Brian for the very very special pen and the best customer service for which he is well-known across the world. Will post better pictures once I have them.
