    I'd often wondered what people did on birthdays. Mine always pass unremarked upon, alas.

    Anyway, have a great anniversary of your current incarnation!

    Yes, isn't it nice? I fell in love with it when I saw and tried out Bogon07's Delta Vintage, in the same green colourway.

    The nib is a steel EF. It has a really generous ink flow (as you can see from the writing sample, cos Alt Goldgrn is a fairly dry ink), and it has a very nice feel, quite firm but smooth, with a hint of feedback. Didn't even need a 'Magic-Murfie' nib tweak lol.

    Thank you Cryptos. You must tell me when your birthday is and I'll make sure it doesn't go uncelebrated next time ☺️

    And Murfie has already been spoiling me - as well as some wonderful pressies, he cooked me my favourite brekkie and is making his wonderful Lamb Biryani for dinner tonight. Double-yummy. He knows the way to this girl's heart LOL.

    Ain't they just? All surprises too. I didn't have a clue what Murfie had bought for me. He's a clever-clogs ☺️

    Happy birthday Migo. Very nice Delta indeed.

    The size comparison with the m400 really puts the Basic into perspective.

    Thanks Carl. The Delta is lovely.
    Yes, the Basic is a much bigger pen. Yet, although I much prefer smaller dimensions all round for my pens, the Basic is a very comfortable pen to use. The nib is also a happy surprise. A generous ink flow & a smooth writer, with nice feedback.

    I am to the point where birthdays are painful (but better than the alternative) but with a birthday like that I would look forward to them again!

    Happy Birthday

    A belated Happy Birthday, Migo!

    Lovely pens and nice ink selection.
    Did Murfie put a mini converter in the Vintage or did you use a cartridge.
    I think it is hilarious Murfie has now had to order himself a red Vintage with medium nib .

    I hope you are getting ready to enjoy your birthday dinner around now.
