I love everything about this pen, the nib is amazing and the ink is perfect.  This is amazing!!!!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I posted this in @amberleadavis review of the Hero 5028. She kindly sent it to me. Now I’m offering it as a PIF. I posted this in the original review. Same deal here, first to PM me will get the Hero 5028 with 3 nib units. (The Visconti is not part of this offer.) Must have a US address.

Oh, so many really exciting stub nibs and magnificent looking handwriting! My congratulations!

My new acquisition is Pelikan M800 BB, very smooth and expressive, but a real gusher with Iroshizuku Shin-ryoku...

"Stop little pot", I definitely had to choose another ink)

Belongs here:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/forum/145-pay-it-forward-loaner-programs-group-buys/

I wondered if I should put the offer somewhere else. Thank you for showing the place.

 

I posted in the appropriate area, and the pen will have a new home. Being new to PIF, my rule was first person. Maybe not that fair, but it’s my first PIF.

I'm glad you shared it.  So, what did you not like about it?

I knew I probably would not use the 1.9mm nib, and use the 1.5 not so often. I have Lamy nibs in both sizes, plus a 1.5mm Kaweco nib. 
 

I hope you don’t mind my PIF with that pen. I figure getting more people over to the stub/italic side might mean more pens with those nibs for all of us on this thread.

Why would anyone mind? That's  a very generous thing to do. And reminds me that i should ink up some of my wider stubs so i might have something to show here.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

It's one that I've shown off a bunch. I adore it.

You are very kind. I have serviceable penmanship, but I make it look better with great pens.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
