Re: Greetings from Amsterdam
Hello Sanne and welcome :)
Thank you for sharing a lovely story - I hope you'll carry on with the hobby now you've returned to it!
That's a beautiful pen by the way - Osmia Faber Castell made some fabulous pens, and the nibs are often very special indeed, often with a fair amount of flexibility as well. You've made a very lucky find and I hope you really enjoy it.
Enjoy FPG :)

Hi Sanne, welcome from a fellow Dutchie. With your bachelor in physics & astronomy (congrats by the way), you might find this interview interesting. It is from a famous (well, in the pen community) youtube pen reviewer "Figboot on Pens" (his real name is David Parker) with Neil deGrasse Tyson. They talk about his latest book, but also about collecting/writing with fountain pens. Neil's focus in his collection are "space pens"... You might pick up a future birthday gift idea... Happy viewing.
