thanks for your sleuthing efforts on my behalf ................ I do have one or two very nice Sheaffer f.ps., but don't find this brand as often as other makes, and never really liked those firm beaked nibs, so haven't made as much effort to collect them as Parker's for example.
I have a couple of Mr. Lambrou's pen books, but suspect this particular Sheaffer model is possibly too recent to be included, so will continue to look occasionally on the web and hope I see them some time.
Don't seem to find Sonnets as often as I would have thought, but again the nibs are nails so wouldn't write with them anyway, but some of the colours are very attractive and they make for a good show............. think I only have half a dozen, but now I have the 'clear text' for year codes can decipher the French date codes, which makes for added interest.
Hope you will forgive me when I say your wonderful Caran d'ache Madison pen is not really my cup of tea (or should that be cup of pen) - I'm a dyed in the wool lover of older pens, and whilst these modern inventions are no doubt great, I'd prefer a Parker, Waterman, or Swan
I presume it's another 'nail' nib - do you write with it? ...... but of course, for £1.00 even I wouldn't have left it behind.
