Yep, saw that, thank-you again.
Can’t wait to see how yours comes out. Mine is pretty beat up.

I’ll definitely post in here when I get it back.
I’m not sure what to expect, and today marks two weeks since I shipped the pens out. They should be back to me any day now and I’m getting impatient!

Danny Fudge does good work, he'll get it in writing order for ya!
Great find! You're lucky
Indeed he did. Got it back from him a few days ago.
I haven’t inked it up yet as I haven’t decided on an ink yet.
My first impulse is to use Iroshizuku Yama Guri. It’s a nice rich brown, and a close match to the off black finish of the hard rubber on my 55.
But I’m also thinking it should have a Waterman ink in it so I’m hesitating.
I’ve read that I should stick to one ink in a vintage pen, so until I can commit, I have to just look at it.
