That's a beautiful pen! I have the Model 40 and 66 and I love the 66 a lot! This one has a really classic look...
I've mentioned the aesthetics of the Model 20 - it has a real vintage look & feel. Here's a photo of my green Model 20 next to a black Esterbrook Dollar bandless model. These were made in the early 1940s (this one is circa 1942). I think both pens are classics of their time. And, despite there being around 70 years between them, they look almost contemporaneous in style.

Here is another review of the FC Model 20 in VG. More excellent photography included.
Picked up at the Miami Pen Show a prototype color that I was told the will be put into production. It's a beautiful
dark cherry color w/black squiggles on it. Fell in love with it when I first saw it. Will post pics later.

That's another gorgeous FC #20. I covet it 😍

Don't know what they will call it,but I think of it as black cherry.

That is such a good looking pen! Congrats. I really hope that color does make it to regular production. I already have (and love!) the green version, but I would buy the red and black in a heartbeat.

After looking at what I wrote,I meant to say that I picked up both pens at the show. Got a great deal on
the Voyager--it's a plunger filler and a great writer w/a 14k nib.

I should also mention that I presented to Jim Rouse the idea of F-C putting inlay in their pens similar
to what Chilton did with the Wingflow(as far as I know,no other pen company has done that since).
He told me that they presently have the ability to do just that and that he would present the idea
to the owner.
