Top to bottom, all Watermans: 20, 55/56 (can't remember), 52, 51V

Here are all the sizes (minus #8; it's been surprisingly difficult for me to get ahold of one).

Left to right: #1, #2, #3 (rare eyedropper), #4, #5, #6, #10. I suppose I could've thrown a No. 7 pen in there, but my mind was stuck in a hard rubber mindset at the moment.

And here's the money shot, a #1 and a #10. :)

Sorry for the poor quality of all the pictures. I didn't feel like dragging out the light box.

How are you getting such fine vertical strokes from a fountain pen? Nice pen!

If you want an 18 drop me a note, I have an extra. As an aside, my 18 holds more ink than a my 20.

Given their expense, I have a pretty narrow model in mind (red ripple 58 :)). Thanks though!
