I own a Waterman L'Etalon ballpoint, which I love. And I want to complement it with the fountain pen: I love the elegant, sophisticated yet simple look of it and I love its solid weight. However, looking around the internet, they don't come cheap - to my standards. I am a fountain pen noob, so before spending an inordinate amount of money on a pen, I would like to experience somehow if I like the fountain pen experience in the first place. Can you guys give me a hint as to where to start? Does a supermarket pen provide a similar writing experience as does a luxury pen? Are there any others ways to help me avoid this being an expensive gamble? I know of no place in my neighbourhood where I can test a pen, especially not a vintage pen. Thanks a lot for your input!

I'd like to recommend Linda Kennedy of Indy-Pen-Dance for repair of injured nibs. My Waterman L'Etalon with an EF nib slipped out of my hand, and the tip of the nib was bent up at a 90 degree angle. I took it to Linda at the Dallas show, where she worked on it for 30 minutes and still was not satisfied. She took the pen home to do some additional work. I just got the pen back, and it writes better than ever. If you have a bent nib, I can assure you that Linda will give it thorough and expert attention.
