I was planning to visit the shop in a couple of weeks, since Ill be in Paris.

Hhhmmmm.... should I test myself or thrust these 3 negative opinions given in this thread?

 

Mayby the best decision is to have a direct experience and simultaneously have a look at the beautiful Oldwin pens.

Well see how it goes.

 

Q.

 

You should go, anyhow. Nothing better than one's own experience. And, who knows? you might have a good experience. Or so I hope.

I am just finishing a very short vacation in Paris with my family. As I had been wanting to add an Oldwin to my collection, I dragged my wife and son to Mora Stylos. I was not disappointed. While I can see how Andres demeanor could be off-putting to some, once it became clear that I was a serious fountain pen collector, he was incredibly helpful and patient with me. In the end, I bought a beautiful blue Oldwin and a nearly flawless Parker Jackknife 28 1/2. I did not like the fine nib on the Oldwin so Andre swapped it out for a medium. He also threw in a free bottle of Iroshizuku Asa-Gao ink. He then waited while I called my hotel to get my passport number so he could complete the VAT refund paperwork. Finally, we exchanged stories about a couple of rare vintage Montblancs. The only thing I would say that differs from the positive reviews above is that Andre was reluctant to speak English. That said, we understood each other perfectly.
