  1. Deb, I’ll be the first to bring out my 100 year old Swans, and show you how they still do English Roundhand like the day they were made, but….. I’ve got a few Jinhao 992s. And 601s. That would give pretty much any modern pen a run for its money !!! ….seriously !! They’re really good .
    But you knew that…….
    Eat ya heart out modern pens over $20.00

    1. The 601 looks like a Sonnet, right? I don’t have one of them but I got a package of five or six of the 992s a few years ago. Great little pens. They only seem to come in medium – or at least mine did. I would prefer fine or EF, but that’s hardly a criticism. Gave some away, one contains BSB and I have at least one unused in a drawer. Its time will come.

      There are some modern pens over £20 that I like, all of them Japanese.

  2. Got me on the LeCoule. I said Platinum, when I had intentionally bought it so I could have an inexpensive Sailor pen for EDC!
