Greetings, Network; I'm a professor, priest, theologian, and technologist who is retrieving some of the solace he’s found in appreciating fine writing instruments. I started out with a Rapidograph in the early 70's, the proceeded to some Sheaffer Student pens and No Nonsenses with italic nibs, and an Osmiroid; I recently inherited an Esterbrook and an old Osmiroid, and picked up a couple more Esterbrooks and a couple of Philéases. I'm trying to rein in my impulsive bidding for a while, till I settle into a routine with these.
A fellow after my own cheap *AHEM* I mean, frugal heart!
Welcome aboard.
