I just purchased a sterling silver Grand viceroy with the barley finish... fine nib.... a couple of weeks ago. I'll post pictures soon. What an amazing pen. I waited a long time to purchase one. I had heard about YOL maybe 10 years ago. I used to get the Fountain Pen Hospital catalogue and dream about pens because I did not have the finances to purchase nice pens then. YOL was one of brands I kept looking at.
I went back and forth about investing that much into a pen. Finally just said "Go for it" and I'm very happy I did.
What struck me most about this pen is how much the pen is as much of the "art" as the art of writing with the pen. It feels hand made... its feels kind of like holding a magic wand It is a heavy pen yet well balanced. Very smooth writer.
I would like to hear from others who have YOLs...
