Looking at this pen online doesn’t do it justice. It’s a deep, striated turquoise with palladium trim and is extremely beautiful to behold. But ‘handsome is as handsome does’ and it’s function as a working pen is the real issue. It fits the hand comfortably, both capped and uncapped and happily writes beautifully as well. I ordered the broad nib which is to all intents and purposes medium and it flows well with a tad of resistance and a fairly wet line. Very happy indeed with my purchase.
