If you are in the greater DC area and like some of the Japanese brands like Sailor and Platinum, I have been advised that this show in particular will raise your nib I unfortunately missed it travel-wise by a week, but I was able to get a couple of absolutely wonderful finds like the Sailor Pro Gear Sky KoP, as well as the new Realo with the ink window. Their head of sales (an Asian Gentleman - will post his info later) is one of the nicest people I met! Enjoy it! http://www.fahrneyspens.com/images/86_anniversay_pen_show.jpg
