After shifting a lot of pens I didn't use here are the ones that are left;
Parker; 15 (Red GT), I.M (Silver), Frontier (Teal, Twilight, Flighter), Sonnet (Dark Grey 18k nib)
rotring; Esprit (Tourmaline), Freeway (Blue)
Lamy Studio (Stainless Steel)
Diplomat: Aero (Pencil)
Peikan M200 (Gt)
Cross; Century II
Jinhao; X450
Kaigelu; 356
Essentially I have around £50 to £100 I could spend. What I'm essentially looking for is a broad nibbed modern pen that offers a little springiness like the M200 and Sonnet do. These are my favorite pens both with fine nibs. I essentially want something relatively light (sub 25 grams with a section of at least 1cm).
I've thinking about this for a while so here are all the pens I have considered;
Japanese pens; There a load of affordable Japanese gold nibbed pens in this price range. In some ways they seem like the obvious choice however I've never really found Japanese pens interesting. The designs just aren't my cup of tea.
European; There a few European options such as the Lamy 2000, Waterman Carene and Charleston as well as the Diplomat Aero and Excellence. which do seem interesting however I can't help but think non of these pens will offer what I'm looking for in terms of nib.
So does anyone have any suggestions it can be from the pens I have already ruled out as I really would like a broad nibbed pen with some springiness. Even the pens I have already ruled out as I really would like a broad nibbed pen with some springiness
