Re: Streamlining
Stub,no worries taken. One of the aspects of the beauty of a fountain pen (in my mind) is total look of a pen. A metal cap on an acrylic body cuts the image of that pen in half,especially if there isn't any jewellery on the bottom of the pen. I much prefer either a metal overlay with a minimum of acrylic banding or a full acrylic or celluloid with minimum metal furniture. While Kenneth Parker back in 1939 took a road not taken with tubular nibs and half-metal and half-celluloid, not everyone takes the same path.
Btw,this doesn't mean I'm not a fan of new looks---I think the look of the Montblanc M is fantastic.
