Unfortunately, when ordering, I didn't notice the nib was gilt.
(And by now you all should know how I feel about gilt...)
Not sure yet if I'll use it anyway or not.

That's a very nice pic.
I like that demonstrator Pilot more than I'd like to admit. I don't even mind the screw-on cap on it (and the screw-on cap on my Kaweco was the reason why I took upon this whole hunt for something else).

All three of the major Japanese fountain pen manufacturers (Pilot/Namiki, Sailor, Platinum) make excellent, reliable pens. In my opinion, they do the best quality control in the industry.

Today's arrivals:
Love the Zebra and its feel. The Schneider, not so much -- somehow underwhelming in person and kinda scratchy when dry-writing, will probably go back even though I like the idea of a rollerball taking fountain pen cartridges and wonder why there aren't so many more of those around.
