Got this one when getting into the hobby a couple of decades ago. I think this might be my first gold nib, and one of only a couple left in my collection. Stainless steel styling and outer profile not too far off from a Parker 75, and the squeeze fill mechanism is actually a deeply seated converter very similar to Parker cartridges. But then, the clip is more Sheaffer, and that gold conical nib DEFINITELY is. It’s not quite the experience of the 1940s Sheaffer, but it’s quite nice in its own right.

    J Herbin ink is a lot cheaper to get in 100ml or 500ml bottles! Those 100ml are plastic, and they sell a lot of colours like this. It is more useful if you do calligraphy or drawing though, using 100ml even with broad fountain pen nibs takes a lot of writing!
