But only a few of my fountains pens (and it's true pretty much across the board) came through the direct retail channel. Most came from another lover of fine fountain pens or some of the older retail channels that have now disappeared. A few were ordered directly from the maker.

Remember though, what is here now is an accumulation over many decades and just one or two pens a year.

Today Bryant Greer is a definite enabler when it comes to Danitrio and his Consignment Pens often have jewels (there is a Platinum Izumo there right now at a price I haven't seen in many years).
Thank you Jim! There are a couple of sources there I have not heard of. But Bryant is a definite "problem" for me! A great guy!

Thanks again!
