After @K Singh's post on the Woodex 63, I placed an order for three pens, and they arrived a few days back. I used Model 2 at office, while models 62 and 63 were at home. The model 2 (ED mode only) came with a Kanwrite M nib with an ebonite feed (not Kanwrite). It wrote well, but the smoothness could be better, so I tuned it for better flow and smoothness. The model 62 ("3 in 1") came with an Ambitious 40 M nib unit, with a plastic feed, I have been using this without any tuning. The model 63 (ED mode only) came with an Ambitious 40 M nib and an ebonite feed, I smoothed the nib as I found it to be a bit on the scratchy side for my liking. See the pics below. I liked the clips on models 2 and 62 more than the one on model 63. If I had to choose one, it has to be the model 62 for me. It is large but light on it's feet and athletic like a sumo wrestler. The model 63 is also good, my guess is that I will not pick it up very often. It think it is slightly back-weighted. Model 2 has been an eternal favorite for me, it is light and is great for long hours of writing. I owned and used some version of this pen, starting with the Deccan Advocate from many years ago. The model 62 is being used with a converter. Although not overtly wet (which I prefer), it lays down an adequate quantity of ink.

Does anyone have any info on where I could possibly buy one of these discontinued pens? They're adorable. Looking at past posts only gave me general information and reviews...like this link with all the color possibilities (I especially like the white and pink ones!): http://pelikan.livedoor.biz/archives/50323198.html Just looking at that fat, squishy Platinum nib makes me all warm and fuzzy inside: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/80189-fpn-platinum-and-nakaya-gallery/page-2 I don't mind if it only takes short international standard cartridges...I just want one! *cue squeeing here* http://estilofilos.blogspot.com/2010/11/glamour.html
