    My favorite are the Pelikan, Pilot, Sailor and Namiki.
    The Parker Sonnet has a fine nib and is well considered.
    The Pilot vanishing point is a prize!

    Most have piston converters so the sky is the limit for the
    choice of inks.

    A fun pen is the big Lamy Safari especially for the price.

    A good pen deserves good paper.
    And you thought PAD was paper.

    Do not ignore pen nibs for the old
    dip pen if you have a desk.
    i have a safari, as a lefty i was intrigued by the left hand nib that they offer, I do like the pen but not the nib so much, in saying that it is the pen i use everyday at work, I also have several Jinhao's which are nice but the lids tend to fall off. i also have a couple of parkers, and while aesthetically i like them and they are very reliable i find them a little bit skinny for my grip.

    Enjoy your new Pen.
    I am a lefty too and write successfully with a fountain pen, it just needs a little practice.

    One of many projects. This is only 5/8 of the junk I got out of it. It is getting late and I think that I will soak it for another night. I have a fork in the glass on the kitchen counter to warn my wife not to poor it down the drain!

    No name pen but has a 14k nib. When I took it apart I can't see plated.

    I told Carl he is getting a letter if I get it going!
