Using my 1st MB tonight, not sure what model it is, slim c/c, black with gold furniture, slip on cap. Very smooth writer.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Is the course being taught by a lawyer or an academic historian? Not that I'm biased either way.;-)

Don’t know that the college professors are licensed/practicing lawyers.  [sorry if that’s disappointing.] They’re on-staff at a recognized college.  A different focus than Con Law I and II in law school.

Not disappointing at all and in fact encouraging.  The course is titled The Meaning and History of the Constitution. That implies a course with a rather large scope that includes the social and political aspects of society in 1787 that led to  formulation and adoption as well as ideological antecedents.  And not to mention subsequent events such as Civil War, Great Depression, Civil Rights, etc.  All of that is not likely to be adressed by law professors.  I say that not to slight law professors, but obviously their focus is legal and not necessarily historical.  Seems to me that it can be an interesting and quite timely course. Maybe some members of the SCOTUS could take it and learn a few things.

Nice.

The 334½ is a firm favourite of mine!

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
