Full Version: Hello from New Mexico USA
Hello all! Checking in from Albuquerque, NM. I'm a relative newbie to the FP world as my wife recently gave me a turned fountain pen from a local art gallery as a gift. When I finally figured out that it needed an ink cartridge, and I started writing with it, I knew I was in trouble. Since then, I've picked up another turned beauty and I just ordered a Pelikan 400. I can see that I will probably need to lock up my wallet if this continues. Unfortunately, I have experience with custom doo-dads in that I recently satisfied myself with 2 sets of custom-designed poker chips. I guess I'm due for a new diversion. Anyway, I'm glad that I found the FPN, and I look forward to learning from this community!
Welcome to FPN.
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you join us here at FPN!!
Welcome to FPN! If you are interested in custom jobs, come to the pen shows. Also, for a beautiful custom pen, you might want to check out Edison Pens - easy to find through Google.

Hi and welcome here! If you like your M400 as much as I like my M 215 and 800, you'll buy even more of these things (like me too).
All best wishes

Hi AtomicLeo!
I have heard about the Santa Fe Pen store, but have not had time to check it out. Are you at LANL?

Yep, like 99% of the population up here. :-)
It's a really neat store, but hold on to your wallet! I walked in there last month thinking I was *only* going to spend $150, walked out with a Sailor 1911 that cost $250! Frank (the owner) is a great guy.
