Among the fifty or so fountain pens I rotate, there is one that always stays in my four pen case and that is a '40s gold swirl Waterman that was one of the best writing pens I own. A couple of days ago, I received a Waterman Skywriter in the same colour and has a very flexible fine nib that writes even more loverly than the other Waterman. I read at a pen site that was describing the Skywriter that it wasn't a very good writer. I haven't found a Waterman yet that doesn't write well. At any rate, this Skywriter won't be leaving my pocket anytime soon.
