    Very nice collection. Might I be so bold as to to suggest that you look a Paul Rossi's pens. He is one incredible pen creator, artist.

    An eye for insignificant details is a good sign you will do just fine in medical school...
    As a sharp wit and powerful sarcasm is a sign that you already have.

    Your going to want to experiment, see if you like fine medium or broad, firm or soft, round or italic, vintage or modern, slim or fat, light or heavy, reserved or wild, short or long. Trust me, when it comes to pens you never know what you want until you try it.

    Congratulations on such a wonderful selection of pens.
    You certainly have some real beauties in there.

    I think, for any one just starting out, should buy inexpensive first. Then, as you see what you like and your billfold will accommodate it, move up in price range until you find your comfort level.

    Thanks for sharing your pens I love the variety of colors and the box you keep them in. Is that a Piquadro pen box? I didn't know they made pen storage boxes...

    Holy crap. I look at that photo and keep thinking "I bet there is a poster on her wall..."

    I agree and I've done just that though I'm still working on the comfort level.

    Yes it is a Piquadro box, only one I've seen, bought it used on the auction site.
