A.G. Spalding & Bros BRFT220 Fountain Pen - Medium Nib - Maple Wood - Black Body

This is my first fountain pen and I bought it with a converter so I can use my choice of inks. I have been very happy with this pen. Ink flow is very good while writing and still doesn't blob up when you pause in your writing for a sec without lifting the nib. Great pen for the price and no negatives so far.

I've had numerous fountain pens over the years. This is my favorite. Looks smart and classy. Writes very smooth. Very happy with my purchase.

UPDATE: I still really like the look and the feel of this pen, but after less then 1 month of use the finish on the body is discoloring. I am not sure if I have exposed it to anything that would cause this or not. Just thought that I would put it out there.

Lovely pen for the price. They cannot help but put their stamp of elegaantand retro-timeless design, practicality and beauty in even these lower priced options. Loved the nib after, I adjusted to it. However, it seemed to flow like a narrow bold rather than a medium (heavy flow or not). Usually the bolder the better for me, but in this instance, I hope they will extend the line to a fine or medium fine nib option. Even thought I prefer bold nibs, all around me have insisted that I start using a finer nib, because, let's face it, the narrower the nib, the less room for error and the slower at least I write, which makes my chicken scratching almost legible.

Cheers
