Got this one when getting into the hobby a couple of decades ago. I think this might be my first gold nib, and one of only a couple left in my collection. Stainless steel styling and outer profile not too far off from a Parker 75, and the squeeze fill mechanism is actually a deeply seated converter very similar to Parker cartridges. But then, the clip is more Sheaffer, and that gold conical nib DEFINITELY is. It’s not quite the experience of the 1940s Sheaffer, but it’s quite nice in its own right.

      Lol, more that I have faith in J Herbin to make ink that will last a long time, LOL, and I like a good dark black ink. It’s also not quite so big (100 mL) as the photo makes it look.
