  1. @penfount I really don't get the obsession with gold nibs. Especially with some expensive gold nibs. None of these pens cost more than 40€ and the nibs are very, very good. Some are flexible, and some are rigid. Some are smooth, and some have feedback. If you want to try a gold nib, the vintage route is one that should be considered. Parker's UK nibs are seriously undervalued and offer a great price/quality ratio. #fountaipen #fountainpens #VintagePenDay

  3. @penfount My collection doesn't have a defined focus besides the European makers. It has a bit of everything. The most numerous brand is Aurora, followed by Montblanc. #fountainpens #fountaipen

  4. There are no paws in my house, but this is Nina (Miffy's friend). Nina has an early model of the Montblanc 342 (smaller than the later versions) with a steel number 2 OB nib. #fountapenpics #fountaipen #FountainPens
