Pleased

A great article on the 1950s vs 1980s and 1990s Pelikan M400 tortoise. I was looking at this article wondering which year was the pen I bought from the nice uncle in the China Square flea market. The newly bought 1980s version has a cleaner, shinier nib than the 1990s version – I think it’s not often used.

I’m relieved I didn’t blow a lot of money on this pen. I’ve been pen crazy for a week, looking at FS section on PENguin (Rick Propas). I’m now done. The madness will stop.
