And... I'm quite jealous. I am amazed at that wondeful work of art. I wish I could own one... perhaps in the distant future. Certainly, these will survive well past our lifetimes.

Dan, I'm very glad you copied your review to FPN--I think you did the pen (and its artisans) a great service. It needs to be displayed!

I have to ask that this will probably get me bounced from FPN,
When I stated in the "another" discussion that I thought "Jules" would be difficult to use because his little eyes would get in the way of my grip, a photo was posted by the manufacturer and they stated that the "eyes" were 90 degrees out of alignment from the nib, so they would not interfer.
But the "Review" that started this all out has a photos that shows the "eyes" are inline with the nib.
Does the nib rotate like a Parker 75?

Glenn,
When my photo was originally made, I was playing with different settings for the nib, so you are right about how the nib was set in those photos, of course. Since then I've settled on the nib position show in Jeff's photo above and I do prefer that, although I cannot say that the other position bothered me.
The nib does not rotate by design like the 75 did, but the nib unit can be set into the section at the angle desired.
I'm taking a break from writing a letter to Australia alternating between a MB 20 Safety and Jules (or Squidwort, as he's known around this house!). Fun, especially on the ultra-thin Crane's airmail paper!

Good point, I am so giddy I forgot. I hardly remembered that he has one.
We both have SN 1, one has Ruby and the other has Sapphire.
