I really want to thank you all for your time and well-thought out responses. Now that I consider myself a bit more educated, I can make a better decision.
I first want to thank Mark for showing me 2 pens I never would have thought to consider..the Delta & the Conway..they are both spectacular looking pens.
I have also heard good things about the Stipula Etruria...what are your thoughts on this pen?
Well, I thought I was going to buy a plain, black resin pen..but after reading your comments and seeing some other options, I just might get myself my first celluloid pen..really like the Omas Arte Italiana ARCO and the Delta....they are gorgeous!
Thanks again...I will make my decision soon and let you know what I decide....My MB has sort of a stiff nib.. I am looking for something with a softer & springier nib...probably a model with an 18k medium nib...
