That’s a beautiful pen,
congratulations! A wet nib with an ebonite feeder must be a joy to use, hope you have lots of fun with it.
Thank you. I think I made the right choice selecting the F size nib. The M would have been too much wet. Yes it”s a joy to use.
It glides over the paper with incredible smoothness. Thanks again for your kind words.
Thank you. Although my next purchase is
