All.
Would appreciate some advice. Looking to buy a pen as a special gift and have come down to two options (I think).
First is a yard o led viceroy grand (barley finish I think)
http://www.thewritingdesk.co.uk/showproduct.php?id=878
Or a Graf V faber-Costello anello in gold (or maybe the titanium)
http://mobile.harrods.com/mt/www.harrods.com/product/classic-anello-fountain-pen/graf-von-faber-castell/000000000001755503?cat1=bc-graf-von-faber-castell&cat2=bc-graf-von-faber-castell-all
I can find lots of detail on the yard I leds in general and seems to be really well thought of. I must admit to being swayed on the looks of the faber-castell but can't seem to work out if this is a well respected pen or not - it certainly doesn't seem to be discussed as much. I certainly don't just want to get a pen that will be used for show so it needs to be a great pen.
Obviously price aside as the GvFC is just crazy crazy priced but I love the look of it.
Any thoughts anyone has would be greatly appreciated. What are people's opinions of the GvFC ?
Thanks
