The Pelikans are very nice and I still own one. I have always lusted
after one of the Visconti Wall Street LE pens, just plain beautiful!
I can certainly concur on John, I have purchased a couple of Omas pens
from him, and they do write very well. My handwriting is pretty much in
direct contrast to the pens! :(
