I have really wanted a Duofold for some time. I just hate the fact that they are converters.

My Big Reds are a button Filler and my English is is as well. If you are talking about the remakes... I can't answer to those

Please address your comments to my attorney- Mr.BrianW.

I went with the Noodler's FPN Van Gogh Starry Night Blue

I would say the CS Fine nib is more along the lines of a MB EF. It is a lovely feeling nib, and very smooth. I think I should have gone with a Medium nib, but then again, variety is the spice of life.

Forgive the pictures, as Its not too easy photographing pens, in my opinion.

**Jim** · 07-17-2012, 04:23 PM

Oh that's a looker! Does it meet your expectations Isaac?

**rickboone1** · 07-17-2012, 04:24 PM

All group buys are always out of my price range.

It is a lovely pen, and quite frankly I'm afraid of scratching it up. I LOVE the nib on this, as it reminds me of the smooth nibs I have from my MB pens. The only thing that is a bit off is the F labeling. It feels more like an extra fine. I will be testing it out this weekend at work, and seeing how the ink capacity is. the presentation case is something else.

A word to the wise, do be careful with the case when opening. Nothing is actually holding the pen in place. It is just layer into a cut foam layout and it will become loose. When I opened mine, the pen and booklet were sideways, so it was moving about in the case.
