    What you report regarding line variation and springiness is interesting and good to know.

    D'you know, I don't know if there is a 'normal' either.

    Since I didn't buy the great MB 149 90th anniversary edition from Chisholm Hunter @ 15% off, I have a theoretical £525 to spend on other lettering arts supplies.

    I almost bought a Lamy Joy calligraphy set as an upgrade to my Parker Vector set which has served me well for almost ten years, but then realised for less than 50% more I could buy three whole Lamy pens from thewritingdesk.co.uk, one with each of the three different italic nibs, and have three pens inked ready to go rather than just one.

    That's one heck of a pen! I cleaned up mine today after a round of Organics Studio "Oscar's Copper" and filled it with O.S. "Blue Merle" - just plain amazing if you don't mind the weight (I don't). Have fun! Tell us what you think about it when you get it!

    2 Franklin Christoph 45 XLV pens, in Coco Pearl and Cherry Ice. Both with S.I.G. steel nibs. The brown one, which looks like a swirled caffe latte, is for me

    On the way from Japan. Sailor 1911 Profit Large with 21k Broad nib. The 21k Medium on my Pro Gear is quite stiff. Hoping this one has a bit more spring.

    Pelikan 400 in green, OM nib. I've only had one Pelikan oblique before (on a P1) and it was amazing, so my expectations for this one are high.

    Ok... I can now publicly recognize that I have a pen addiction. Just a couple of hours after my last post (#2859) I caved in and bought another OMAS pen. This one comes from a fellow FPGeek:

    OMAS4.jpg

    I suddenly feel a bit like Dr. Strangelove with my left arm fighting my right arm.. the one that controls the finger that presses the infamous button: "Send Money".
