THIS PIF IS NOW CONCLUDED
My last PIF attracted 30 entrants which was very pleasing and has contributed to my intention to offer more. So this week the PIF is something rather unusual. I don't know very much about this pen other than I purchased it some six or seven years ago as part of a bulk purchase of discontinued French Stypen fountain pens of a variety of models.
As the photos show, it is quite unusual in design having a polished stone patten of predominant grey, with gold coloured plated hardware and contrasting black ends to the cap and barrel. The cap is a press fit of good quality. The nib is plated steel, not imprinted with the gauge but I would call it a fine. Filling is via a short international cartridge, but I have fitted a small mini-converter if you don't want to use carts. Some Diamine cartridges will be included with the pen.
This is not a large pen and unless your hands are really small, it would need to be posted. The dimensions are 120.3mm (total length when capped); 105.1mm (uncapped); and 140.5mm (posted). The clip has a very unusual and attractive shape. This is a pen that would be ideal as a carry in a purse or bag along with your daily journal. I find it rather an attractive pen, but of course that is purely subjective.
This PIF will conclude at noon GMT on Friday July 18th. The winner will be selected using Random.org and notified via PM. Included in this PIF is free airmail to any location in the world (that's for the pen, not yourself, unfortunately). Unlike earlier PIF's there is a qualification for entry to this one. You must have been thanked MORE THAN TWICE by other members of FPG. If you meet this prerequisite then you apply simply by a post to this thread, stating your wish to enter and indicating which pen you would like to acquire next, finances permitting, and why you think you would like that particular pen or nib. If you are not intending to buy any more pens, then just say so and the reason why not. In this manner other members get to know a little bit about you and what you like personally.
Best of luck. It might just be your turn to win ...
