i envy those that have nice pen stores and go to pen shows. we have one high end pen store. carries dupont, waterman, parker, pelikan, a couple of deltas, an aurora on closeout, cross and visconti.
held the pelikan 200 and 400 white tortoise - too light. held a dupont and it was heavy. held the visconti wall street and the opera club. nice pens. the wall street was lighter but heavier than a pelikan 600. looked better in a magazine or online than in person. same as with the van gogh. i did like the metal band around the nib of hte van gogh.
opera club, that squared look was ok, and the color was great. wonder how it compares in weight and other stuff with the bexley sheh. i am getting. what is a great price on one of these, as it was $395 in our store
