Sorry for the slight delay.
I was in Melbourne last week.
I managed to catch up with Steve, John, Jed, Julian and Gerry at the GTG. I will post up these pix on another thread.
My Nakaya pen was waiting for me when I arrived back home yesterday.
My final choice was:
Nakaya long, Cigar (no clip), Kuro-tamenuri (blackish red) with a two-tone 14K music nib.
It came with a Nakaya single pen pillow.
John Mottishaw set it up for a medium pressure right hander with a generous ink flow.
The quality of this pen is outstanding as was the service and the attention to detail that I received while this pen was customised for me.
I have tried to bring out the colours of this pen in the pix but in every pix the highlights are different.
I will post up an evaluation with handwriting samples once I have 'run it in' for a while.
Thanks once again to Steve, John and all the others at Classic Fountain Pens who arranged all this.
Eddie.
