p.s. I thought that new feature of including the OP at the top of each page was nice, but I am not so sure when it's a massive review post like mine above!

JD, I thought "SN" meant Sapphire Number" (1) so I figured I had RN as in Ruby Number (1)! You must have meant serial number?

you can turn it off.
At the top of the thread where your post is you'll see "Options". Click on this for a drop-down list. Change formatting to Standard. At first I thought it was nice, then it started annoying me like so many things do now.

If you look inside the cap you will see in very small black numbers the sn.
I had thought you were correct in saying that we had #1 in both versions.
Of course it wouldn't be all that important for me to say I had the real number 1 if that is the case. HeHe

Hello there,
For clarification, there is one #1 sterling with ruby eyes, one #1 sterling with saphire eyes, and one #1 of the solid gold, which can have either the burmese ruby or ceylon saphire eyes.

Of course it costs about half the value of my whole vintage pen collection. But, one can admire...

Yes, i was thinking of the solid gold one. It was hard to put that down after examining in LA :-)
And, "half the collection" was meant in but the most general sense :-)

No, I dont think so! - at least not the sterling silver one; maybe he was thinking of the solid gold one?...

GEE! ! ! I saw a Squid Fountain Pen!!!
I discovered "The Squid" Fountain Pen while examining "The Stylus"
magazine. I was fascinated by it's tenacles wrapping the
body of the body of this pen and wanted a "closer view" of this
fascinating pen... I "Googled it on the internet and found excellent photographs
taken by Dan Carmell, the pen's owner and member of the Fountain Pen Network.
Thanks alot, Mr Carmell for your revealing pictures of this
most unusual and charming writing stylus.

Great review and a lovely pen.
When my children have left home (the eldest is 2), are married, educated and if I'm still alive, I'll buy one of these. Until then, I can but dream...

It'll have to be a lottery win for me. This is my "if money is no object..." pen.
