I wrote a check in a hurry this afternoon and just grabbed the first pen I could find. I ended up using a carbon fiber body Retro51 ballpoint that I've had forever but not used in about a year. I thought to myself "This is really an awesome pen! Why don't I have a Retro51 fountain pen?!" I have a titanium big shot ballpoint as well and I really like that pen too. I think I need a Retro51 fountain pen in my life! It looks like these are Schmidt nibs. Is that right? I'm thinking a medium will work fine. Anything I should know before picking one up??

I have look at the tornado Lincoln so many times. I believe you are correct on the nib. I just looked at a fine point on Ebay for $44 shipped. Great looking pen.

How long until you pull the trigger?? This place tends to give us all an itchy trigger finger.
