    I recently received mine after hearing Eric talk about it on the podcast. It is a fantastic pen. So good, in fact, that I just placed an order for a Model 25 as well.

    • Walter W.

      Which nib did you choose?

      • kondro

        The steel bold stub. It is beautiful. Probably a little broader than I would normally use on a day-to-day basis but wet and buttery smooth.

      • kondro

        I also just received a 0.9mm Medium Stub on the Model 25 I ordered.

        This is just as good as the Bold Stub and much more suitable for day-to-day use. It’s almost as smooth as my 14k Pilot Custom 823 nib… the smoothest nib I’ve every experienced.

    Beautiful pen! I love desk pens! Time to find my lucky envelopes! :-)

    I love these contests!

    I won’t spoil Eric’s fun by saying exactly how but I tried to maximize my presence on the next infographic as much as I could while limiting myself to one side of a piece of No. 16 Rhodia DotPad paper.

    Very nice! I love desk pens :) Thank you FPGeeks and Franklin-Christoph for another great giveaway.

  • inkflow

    I just received an email today saying my 66 is shipping today…

    Do you think this should get me a better chance to win a twin pen? ;-)

    • snedwos

      NO! Leave some for the rest of us! *shakes fist* >:O

      • inkflow

        You’ll have to pass through me in order to get it ;-)

  • TheToadMen

    À very beautiful pen. I hope I’ll win. Just one question (as Newby): what makes a pen a deskpen?

    • http://www.facebook.com/walter.zabrouski Walter Joseph Zabrouski

      I’m a relative Newby myself but I believe desks pens A: don’t have a clip B: Tend to be longer and C: many are designed to be used in a holder.

  • Brenda

    Awesome! Thanks for another fab contest.

  • subbes

    I note there’s no base in the picture. Do F-C have desk pen bases?

    (If not, and I win, I suppose I could try displacing one of my Esterbrooks.)

  • snedwos

    Right, enveloope sealed, stamps affixed, prayers to St Nibius offered. I shal havee to offer some sacrifices just to make sure. By the end of the month there may be no ball-point pens left un-singed in this house.

  • Jadie

    Perfect excuse to order some stamps and notecards…woo!

  • inkflow

    I just received my 66 today (with a gold stub nib) and all I can say is that this pen is probably among the best pens available today that you can get (without selling one of your kidneys).

    Postcard already sent!… here we go!
