$265 plus $88 shipping.  That is a marketplace seller.  Amazon Global is now $473.  I'll stop reporting on this.  The deal no longer exists.

For those who got this deal, good job. ST Dupont nibs are among the best nibs out there. I love the weight and balance of my ST Dupont Olympio Medium size with F nib. I could write with that pen for hours.

The pen arrived today, four days after I ordered.  Sent DHL.  I agree with agentdaffy007 that it is a very nice nib, and an attractive, well made pen.  But I wanted to comment on one feature that I found hysterical.  Unlike many fountain pens I've bought from Amazon Global, this arrived in a nice Dupont box.  I therefore assume that this is the same packaging people receive when they pay the regular $500 and over price.  It does not come with a converter.  Instead, you are given one, ONE, small international cartridge even though there is room for a large cartridge.  Yes, anyone reading this will have additional converters lying around, I took one from a Jinhao sitting on my desk.  But that isn't the point, is it?  How can any company be that darned cheap with a pen at this price point?

      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
