Man! Wish I could find a nib like that. I had one Vacumatic, a standard golden pearl. Real user grade too, but it was by far the best fitting pen (to my hand) that I have yet used. Lost somewhere in the US now, alas. Never had the courage to buy another.

I am enjoying the inks, they have the consistency of Noodlers black and the favorite is King Philip.Nathan had an interesting youtube video in advance of the show that described the inks coming to the show. Good for you getting a few and the Dixie nib. How do you like the inks?

I am a happy chappie!

Thanks for posting. I just received my Amber/Orange p66 (a prototype) and indeed, the barrel and cap are more Peach/Apricot than Amber/Orange... After eyedropper-filling with Diamine Oxblood, however, I am thoroughly happy with the pen, not to mention its super-smooth Masuyama cursive italic nib!

My set of Varsities finally arrived.
I wonder how long I can keep a hold of them this time without giving them away to folks who want to try fountain pens.
Spread the love I say!

This one arrived yesterday morning from Sean Nicholson. Parker Duofold Junior Lucky Curve WITH curve feed fully intact. A fully mint pen. Great writer with a nice bit of flex for some line variation.

A Pilot Kakuno. Right now my best ten-dollar pen, and I have some good ones.

Another deluge of Visconti Daintree, Florentine Hills and an Opera to mark the end of pen buying this year.......maybe.
