[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 431104, member: 2244"] having used and collected fountain pens since the mid '50s, I'd have to agree with PB, stay with a known maker such as Pelikan ( nice flexible, expressive nibs and most piston fillers), Schaeffer, or as PB mentioned Sailor or Platinum ( lovely, lovely expressive soft nibs) . Remember, at the price range you are looking at, you usually will not get a solid gold nib and there IS a difference as to how a plated steel nib vs solid gold writes. Save your pennies and stay with a known maker. JMHO :twisted: Check the offerings from these two sites, they BOTH have been selling and KNOW fountain pens for several decades and are good people to deal with.
