I like little birds. The old 400/400NN size are perfect, the modern M200/M400 fit too. Have quite a few 200s (aiming at all the 200 demos someday), and one lone M400 (the white tortoise because I'm slowly, slowly working toward a semi complete tortoise collection, it is sorta done cause I have all the affordable/findable ones. :pound:). I like the M400s but the modern ones are insanely expensive to me. Especially compared to the M200s. I have an 80s M400 green. And I've wanted a blue M400, but just can't justify the cost.
Until I stumbled on a German ebay auction for a blue M400 with a lovely gold B nib... And got it for less than a new M200! $100 for this beauty might not be a Sumgai, but I'm really happy! Such a pretty pen. :) I suppose I'll have to get a red one now, huh? Just for completeness. ;)
