I'm looking forward to the third U.S. stimulus check and want to use part of it to buy my next fountain pen. Please see my signature for the pens that I have.


I'm thinking of the following (all under $400.):


new Pelikan 400;
vintage Pelikan 400NN from Rick Propas;
vintage Pelikan 400N from Rick Propas;
vintage Pelikan 400 from Rick Propas;


new Waterman Carene; or


new Santini.


Any suggestions? Thoughts?


I like all the pens that I have, but my favorites are the Pelikan M850 and the Waterman Phileas.
