Just recently liberated it from Jim's firm grip. Very nice pen. It looks and feels better in person, so to speak. I'm thankful to Jim for having released it to me.

I promise to kiss the pen that takes me to the end of a project I have in mind.

But how often do you see a Jiff WITH cartridges.

It's the cartridges that are the biggest value. The Jiff was Waterman's first attempt at a cartridge pen. The cartridges are glass and different dimensions from the later plastic CF or International Standard ones. They also almost never suffered from surface tension issues and really could be washed out and reused almost indefinitely.

That's the first set of Jiff cartridges I've seen for sale in several years.
