Well today, a very special pen arrived, special for a few reasons. I've been searching for a PFM in my price range (less than $300) for awhile, in vain. Finally decided to 'compromise' and look for a Legacy. Decided on a Sheaffer Legacy Fantasy series, which is a bit of a Frankenpen with section/cap from a Legacy I, and acrylic body created by a younger Franklin-Christoph pen company.
A day after I ordered the pen from Speerbob (eBay), I read about the passing of Jim Rouse who I gather was involved in the development of this pen during his time as a Franklin- Christoph nibmeister.
The pen arrived today, which is my father's 78th birthday, he passed 5 years ago.
So for a couple reasons, this pen arrived with some significant sentimental value on delivery, not to diminish the fact that it is a beauty, writes wet and smooth and is exceedingly comfortable in my hand.
This is truly a pen I'll treasure for a lifetime.
