Yes, only had Broad in stock.  I mainly use my pens for lecture notes and for grading, so a Fine nib is much more useful.

+ Was thinking the same thing.

Thanks for asking, Doug.

Why do they make shirt pockets so narrow nowadays?

These are today's users.

I used my red/black folded-nib PaperMate yesterday to make my grocery list.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

  You should see the pockets we get in women’s clothing (when we get one)- it might as well not be there. Nice quiver full of lovely arrows you have in there!

  I love folded/crimped nibs for some reason. Every pen that I have had with one has always been nice to write with.

  Good luck! My favorite has long been Sheaffer Peacock Blue, and I keep trying new inks to find a successor before I run out.

  That’s the one I have right now, the one before that had the yellow label.  Never fails to make me smile.

Inked up my new Gioia Alleria, ground from a Broad to a Fine, purchased at the DC Supershow.  Very pleased with the results:GioiaAlleria.thumb.jpg.d0d411086c8507aa1fb68b75b437dbab.jpg


 That’s a gorgeous pen!

Ha ha ha. There is a long story involving my mother and the banning of not only Peacock Blue but ANY blue inks when she was in Junior High. She was heartbroken. She saw my Pilot 912 Heritage inked with kon-peki a few months back and loved it so much I gave it to her. What’s the closest match to the original Peacock Blue?
