I saw a reference to Esterbrook J clergy pens, and since I am not only an FP accumulator but also a priest, I thought I'd begin asking around for one of these (or for another pen branded for clergy use). Thanks!

There are two different things you might be interested in. One is a pen with a cross on it and the second is an aspergelium that looks like a fountain pen.

In addition to the Esterbrook, Waterman made a "Clergy" pen in the '40's. Check out pen 1611 on David Isaacson's site (on this page.)

Even though these pens aren't cheap, the Holy Water Sprinklers are going to be far more expensive. I've seen models based on the Parker Vacumatic and made by LeBoeuf, but they are rare and pricey.

You've gotta be kidding: fountain-pen aspergillum?! (Two of my favorite devices in one!) This I gotta see.... someday.

Nope I kid not.. Actually there might be a pic of one somewhere on the site. Here is a pic of one I found on a site using google.

You can own a nice fp/holy water sprinkler for less than you think:

Put in a good word with the big guy for me?

That's the one I was trying to find but my quick search didn't pull it up. Love the chalice end.

My wife notes that the possibilities of product failure (or absent-mindedness) make this terrifying.
