well both are steel nibs as i drew the line somewhere with the cost of ordering two signature pens haha. I really like these steel nibs anyway and like my nibs firm, the grande has a .7mm stub ground by brian and the morgan just has a fine nib

What you think of the stub? I have the extra fine and it's a bit too fine for my liking, so I'm thinking of changing it out.
haven't received the pens yet, but i am sure they will be spectacular. They were shipped yesterday so 2 weeks to get to kangaroo land
Love that Morgan's material, it's like some underwater fantasy.

now this material would definitely sell... I don't suppose stone lends itself to turning though...

"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

Or the month after that... sigh...
I, like Tiffany am fairly Edison heavy. I sold off nearly a dozen pens over the last three months... in exchange I got two Edison Menlos (one pump, one ED) (yes, to pre answer, pictures to come... but I must warn you, they are iphone pictures and as such do no justice to the pens...).
Now my collection is rounded out at Two Menlos, One Beaumont CC, One Beaumont PN, A Mina on the way and a few ideas in my head for the future.

Capped in sunlight... uncapped indoors but with sun coming in the window... and the best shot of the purple web celluloid that I have ever produced... it usually looks black when I try to photograph it...

Finally broke down earlier this month and ordered an Edison Menlo with pump filler. I ended up buying a classic black ebonite GT with steel nib (ef). It showed up in this morning's post. Gorgeous. I inked it with Lamy black and have been using it most of the day. I am most pleased and regret absolutely nothing about this purchase. Kudos to Brian Gray and his associates at Edison for making this pen possible.

Cuza, thanks for posting the picture of the Premiere and the Menlo together. That shot gives a good perspective of the size. You can't beat the classic look of black ebonite.

I nearly bought the pink Premiere, but this extended Mina pushed itself forward instead.

Thanks I have given away or sold at a loss many pens to get to this point, though. I've been ruthless in my culling of the herd in the last year and a half. I hope it never happens, but I'm finally to the point where I could be happy with any one of my pens as an "only pen."

This is a picture of my latest Edison from Brian Gray's website. Had it for about a week now. Wonderful writer and I love ebonite. Great working with Brian.
