I am enjoying the recently arrived Kaweco 14KT nib in a double broad from FONTOPLUMO in my Kaweco Art Sport (Tortoise/Amber.) It really is a nice nib & with a special "Birthday Discount" (10%) voucher which was a surprise from FONTOPLUMO it doesn't seem as expensive as it did prior to purchase. It is surprising how much broader the nib writes compared to the Steel BB's I have in my other Sports. I will enjoy seeing this in the Brass Sport as well after it has a turn in this Art Sport!

 

With the deletion of VAT & EXTREMELY reasonable shipping offered from FONTOPLUMO this was a VERY nice Birthday treat.

Earlier today it was a cheap-as-dirt Zebra V-301 inked w/ Noodler's Old Manhattan Black.

Possibly OT, but not meant maliciously:

I have not touched a pen all day, an don't plan to either. I'm taking a day off and avoiding scribbling anything at all on paper, with anything at all today. Quite a nice feeling, in fact.

:P

A Rotring 700 fine full of Diamine: I've been neglecting a bit of late with trying new acquisitions and rotating old ones, so that's all I'm using today.

NONE whatsoever! This package sailed thru without a hitch & I am fully aware of what a customs delay can be as I had a Delta pen languish in customs for want of the "ink certificate" that took all the "kings horses & men" from DSL to convince the customs agent that it was an UNFILLED new pen & didn't therefore require the certificate. AND I have received other pens from Italy & Germany without a problem so this DSL shipped pen was my first Customs experienced delay & one I will remember for awhile.

I continue to be happy with this Kaweco nib. I don't dislike the steel nibs but this one is a pleasure.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."
