Franklin-Christoph Pens.........?

[tintak]

Hi!
I tried to look up any comments on FPG about F-C pens.
Couldn't find any,...yet.
It could just be my inability to navigate FPGs,...yet.

Has anyone here had experience with this small American maker?

I should be getting a clip-less model 03 in black/maroon with a Nagahara-san ground ss. Broad stub (in the mail any day now).
Is this brand sort of a "sleeper" amongst the current American brands like Bexley, Edison, etc...............?

I have read some very good comments from users on the "other" board, but very few recent reviews.
F-C pens have some interesting shapes & design features & offer a wide option of decent JoWo brand nibs (in ss or 18K).

I suppose that having only a C/C filling option may limit interest.
I for one have discovered converters about three years ago, after using a piston-fill Pelikan for over 40 years.
Now I really appreciate the simple joys of C/C pens.
Except maybe for custom nibs, I do not need to see a repairman or " Heaven help!", try to tinker at home,...a real plus for me.

Would greatly appreciate any feedback, particularly from users,...if any.

Cheers: Tintak
