I like having a fountain pen, but I typically go a long time between using it. the only pen that I've found that I can leave on my desk for a month plus without going dry is a platinum preppy.

That said, this looks great.

I have the green one. It's one of my favorite pens.

I didn't know there was a brass version! I have the aluminum. How are you liking it after 19 days? Is it developing any patina from using it? I think that would be the biggest point against it in my book. I know all lot of people like patina, but I really want my shiny things to stay shiny. I bet the weight is great, though.
