All true art is biased. If not, it's a commercial image.Last 3 images are for those with an unbiased approach to art.

M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!

Here's a great article about technicality vs creativity - READ HERE
For me Person B is where I lean toward, but have no doubt that this is not a simple this or that explanation.
Very cool. Congratulations! Pictures to come?
And then there are the pens you wish you still had.

Same here
It was a Sheaffer Legacy ("II", I think) with a touchdown filler that used the gold converters with the red ends. Alas, the touchdown mechanism never worked so I used the chrome squeeze converters instead. It didn't work as intended so I fell out of love with it and sold it. In hindsight, I should have been happy with the squeeze converters because I liked everything else about it, with its inlaid 14k stub nib and solid sterling cap and barrel.

The only pen I regret having sold is this one:
Rheingold von -c_m_z-
It's a Soennecken Rheingold of the very first generation of Rheingolds. The jade color wasn't perfect and I thought that I will find a better one.
Well, 15 years later, I still didn't...

As I recall it was more of a stub than an italic. All Mabie Todd pens of course.

I had forgotten just how much enjoyment this thread can offer, it is really worth it to go back to page 1

On a vacation trip to Italy, I found two beautiful pens in a thrift store in Torino:
Aurora 88 and Soennecken 333 Extra
At home I have restored both of them:
The Aurora writes excellent, the Soennecken has not been tested yet.
I specially like the engraving on the section:

Nib was a replacement Osmiroid Italic - bit rough condition unfortunately.
