Thanks David for this and your other reviews. My "entry level" gold nib pen was a Lamy 2000. Still going strong and much loved after 40 years.
For a student nothing beats the Lamy 2000 or the pilot vanishing point as they don't dry up after a "long" pause.
The best entry level gold nib pen would be... the Sailor 1911S in H-M! It's such a great feeling nib, which made it a must to grab when we decided to leave the house due to Irma. The house is fine, no damage, and we were more than blessed for everything.
Truly, I've not felt a pen as good as the 1911S. The nib has that interesting feedback, one that I've come to honestly enjoy more in my pens and has made me take a second when it came to looking at what I have. Much like the Faber Castell Loom, but with a bit more give, and it looks absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks for the giveaway, David. This is very kind of you.
This versus 3776? My two main options.
Bought one for 190 euros (ouch!), deep blue one with gold hardware and black end caps. Pilot Vanishing Point and Lamy 2000 were both 220 euros (double ouch!), so 1911S was a bit value selection on my part. But I don't like looks and weight of Vanishing Point and Lamy 2000 feels awkward to hold for me. Parker Sonnet was also in selection, for cheap, cheap price of 150 euros, and Waterman Expert for 170. I was tempted by 1911 Young Profit for even cheaper than Sonnet but no, 1911S is now my first modern gold nib pen. Mine is H-M, only version available and my first choice anyway, juicy, smooth with nice spring, reminds me of my Sheaffer 300 Fine but even lighter. Funny how plastic body feels sturdy and doesn't scratch at all. And the best thing is, this pen really wants me to use it, it just writes and writes and doesn't wanna stop. Problem is that now I want Pro Gear to go with my 1911...
P.S.: I got ripped-off, mine came in paper Sailor box and only with convertor, no cartridges. Maybe mine was Japanese import or something?
thank you very much for this review and the special giveaway. To me the best entry level fountain pen is definitely a pilot custom heritage 92 with a FM nib straight from Japan. Great everyday writing nib (not too fine, not too broad, always performs), piston filler, nice size and comfortable in the hand.
I haven't watched many of your videos lately because I'm trying to cut back on pen purchases and save some money. I did notice on this one that you said that the nib is a dry writer or words to that affect but you are using a new ink. I bought a bunch of samples of Robert Oster ink and found the ones that I tried to be much too dry for my tastes. In fact I cleaned a few pens out that I had the ink in and replaced the ink with either Pilot, Sailor or Diamine ink and the dry nib was no longer dry. It was the ink, not the pen. May I suggest that you standardize on one readily available ink for all your reviews so that you can make valid comparisons? Thanks for reading.
I received mine today and it is both great looking and writes perfectly ... BUT ... the standard size is way too small for my hand. So I will give it to my girlfriend and order the Large version, but the pen is a terrific writer and great looking.
While I don't personally own any gold nibbed pens, my favorite that I've used was my friend's Lamy 2000. Its a wonderful pen, if you've not used it.
Thanks for the great review and thanks for the giveaway! As to the topic, I haven't actually looked into gold nib pens much because they're pretty much out of my budget, but I've certainly wanted to get my hands on one to see how a gold nib feels!
I picked up a Platinum PTL-5000a after watching Brian Goulet's review. At first, I was disappointed with the "plastic" body, and surprised by the feedback. But over time I became accustomed to both. Now, it has become my daily writer!! I'm thinking 3776 next!!
These are just over $200 in Canada. I'm thinking of getting one.
I think my first gold nib was the Pilot Custom 74 and it's a beautiful pen. However, Sailor are in a class of their own I think.
These pens are wonderfully balanced, post securely, and great writers. The nibs are beautiful. Pen Chalet has become my retailer of choice, btw, free shipping if you're spend $50, they give you a free bottle of ink after a certain number of purchases, discount where they can, offer specials on quality pens, and you can find 10% discount coupons on many affiliated websites. Disclaimer: I'm in no way related, but I'm a guy on a budget, so I like the way they treat me. I think they also carry this pen with a Music (wet and smooth) nib. Yep, I just checked.
The Oster inks btw, usually shade brilliantly. I think the "Fire" in River of Fire refers to a reddish sheen where the ink shades deeply. Good stuff.
Entry level? Mine was a used Parker 45 Flighter with a 14k fine. Came in under $20 shipped.
Great video! On the topic of entry-level pens, I'd say that my choice would be the Pelikan M200. It's a pen that I had just recently been gifted from a friend in Europe and I find that it is quite superb. It writes quite smoothly, like all the Pelikans I've had, and it is a fine size for someone with perhaps a little smaller hands than mine (I still find it still quite nice to write with posted however.) The flow is great and it has no trouble keeping up with my fast writing. Best of all, the price is in the sweet spot for all other entry level gold nib pens so it's a perfect choice for a student.
The nib on the M200 is gold plated stainless steel.
being a fairly new fountain pen it would be great to win this pen.. I am in Canada
Thanks for the review! This pen looks awesome - I really want a Sailor now. My favorite entry level gold nib was the Pilot Custom 74. It's still my daily workhorse.
Hello there!
I have a question that I have regarding the new Sailor 1911 S that I recently acquired. Will using the pen posted damage the pen? As in will there appear a ring on the back of the pen where I post the cap? I used my Sheaffer posted and they all have a ugly looking ring on the barrel now.
Thank you for you valuable reviews and insight into the fascinating world of fountain pens.
I haven't personally experienced any issues posting a Sailor.
Figboot on Pens thank you very much for your prompt reply.
Thank you for providing a great review. My favorite entry level would either be the Pilot e95s or the Platinum 3776.
Thank you for another great review, I have been looking at the 1911 for awhile now. So I was torn between the Lamy 2000 and the Pilot Vanishing Point for my first gold nib pen. I asked my friend who works at a local pen shop which one I should get and his response was "Why not buy both? You know if you buy one, you will end up buying the other eventually." So I waited and saved and bought both. I like the convenience of the VP, but I find myself grabbing the Lamy way more. I got the EF and I would say that it is more of a fine, but the ink supply, snap (securely) cap, and overall design of the Lamy 2000 make it one of, if not my favorite fountain pens I have.
My first pen with a gold nib was a Parker Vacumatic, but I would recommend something like a Platinum 3776 or comparable pen by Sailor or Pilot. All make great entry level gold nibbed pens.
The closest I have to an entry-level gold-nib pen is a Pilot Vanishing point - great pen, love it, want at least one more. ;) Thanks for the review, David - I have been pondering Sailor pens of late, debating on one of those or a Platinum 3776...
Thanks for the review. Great looking pen. I don't have anything with a gold nib yet.
Love the way Sailor design's their sections and nibs...conserving the classic fountain pen look
Well, I don't have a beginner gold nibbed pen, so winning this Sailor would be perfect!!! Great review and giveaway. Thank you and Pen Chalet!
Hello! I like your reviews, but, on this ocasion, I would have expected a more enthusiastic review. Sailor nibs are fantastic. Yes, the normal ones are rather stiff, but, particularly in Fine and Extra Fine they are rather expressive: What I mean is that they provide a slight line variation, without you having to exert any additional presure. Just compare the result, a writing sample, with any German steel or even "entry level" gold nib. For example, this particular pen, the Sailor 1911 Standard compares with the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique in shape and size, but the Montblanc nib is as inexpressive as most German nibs (even if the cheapest Montblancs pens cost 3 times more than these Sailors 1911S) whereas a Sailor 1911S or a very similar Sailor Professional Gear Small will provide a much, much better writing experience and a nicer line on the paper. Not super smooth nibs though, but I like that slight feedback (on F and EF nibs) and with a feed that never ever fails. Finish and materials on this Sailor pens are similar to those on Montblanc's at a third pf the price (with bigger Sailors the difference in price is not that big though). Very impressive "entry level" pens with gold nib, IMHO!
Hello :) I have only two gold nibs pens, a Pelikan M600 (that I do not like too mych) and a "soft" Pilot (SFM on a 91), and it is my best nib by far, smooth, springy, juicy... love it !
You’ve helped make me a pen collector and the 1911Standard is fantastic. Never dries. Precise very fine and always super readable. Beautiful nib.
Dave Gould Cool. Thanks for watching!
Oooo! How exciting, that discount is lovely- many thanks to Pen Chalet!
I got a Pilot VP Decimo as my first gold nib and I love it to bits. It was an absolute dream pen. I haven't acquired any other gold nibs, but I have tried Sailor pens from other people and it's definitely one of those pen brands that suit my writing style quite well, so I can't wait to get one. I'd obviously love to be considered for this giveaway. I really appreciate that you included a Safari and Metro in your size comparisons, made it really easy for me to understand the size of this pen, so many thanks for that! :D Can't wait to see Miss Ginny again in your videos, she's quite the sweetie.
Best entry level gold nib is, hands down, the platinum 3776, amazon sells it for ~ $65, has a broad range of nibs, my preferred is the soft fine. Well made, beautiful nib, range of colors, slip and seal, it just has everything going for it.
I really like the Pilot Custom 74. The nib is just a bit bouncy, which makes it very pleasant to use, and you can find it for sub-100$ if you search hard enough.
My favorite entry level gold pen is the lamy 2000. Was hesitant about purchasing it because I really like my pilot custom heritage 92, but I like the lamy 2000 more.
Thanks for the review. I think the Lamy 2000 makes for an entry level or first gold nib pen. That was my first gold nib pen so I'm biased. Lol
i bought the akkerman emerald green dutch masters and it looks like a black ink, when it dries it looks like an ugly dark green, but most of the time it ends up looking black when it's completely dried, such a strange ink, makes me think that someone took out the green ink and dumped in some cheap parker quink, i bought it brand new at vaness pens so i highly doubt there was any tampering but it's very disappointing
your akkerman ink sample reminded me of it, i still have it and it's almost full, i'm so turned off by it, sometimes i feel like dumping it all out and just using the big inkwell for something better like one of my private reserve inks
i know private reserve gets a lot of criticism and goulet pens said they don't carry it anymore because of a lack of interest but at least the ink is exactly the color you expect it to be
thank you for the review, you always point out things that other reviewers miss, such professionalism and a very cool guy with some of the best shirts
''In regards to reverse writing......it doesn't work at all''
ROFL
Thank you for the review and giveaway. I don't yet own any gold nib pens, but I do hope to in the future. I find the size of the Pilot Metropolitan to be ideal for my hand, and this pen looks really nice.
I am new to fountain pens.... And I still have not made the plunge to purchase one do to the fact that I am still learning about them. Good luck to everyone including myself on Winning!!!
I'd say the Platinum 3776 for first gold nib. Thanks for the giveaway !
Enjoy your reviews. I have a Pilot E95S. It was my first gold nib pen and it is a lovely writer. It is my favorite pen in my collection.
I love the Lamy 2k as a great starter gold nib pen, very smooth, consistent writer, stays wet because of the hood, overall just a great pen
My first entry level gold nib was a Platinum 3776. I really like the 1911 standard in anchor grey.
gee a gold nib.. well don't have one. so I wouldn't kow how it writes. but hey the regular fountain pen nibs write and that is all that matters. I love ink tho. that's what got me into this hobby. please put me in the contest. thanks!
My first gold nib was a NOS Pelikan 381 from the '90s. I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose though. My second was a Pelikan M200 that I put a 400 nib in, again I wouldn't recommend it as a first gold nib. My third was a Vanishing Point, and that I would, but I'd probably suggest a Pilot 74/91/92 or a Lamy 2000 in equal measure.
Hi, my first gold nib pen is the Pilot Custom 74, which I bought for my birthday. Unfortunately, it has a lot of skipping issues and I had to send it back to Pilot to adjust the nib. A few months later, on a holiday trip, I bought a Lamy 2000 in F and really loved how it writes - smooth-writing, worked straight out of the box, no hard starting, no skipping. So the Lamy 2000 would be my favourite entry-level gold nib pen.
I haven't try any pens from Sailor before, so I would be grateful to have the opportunity to get one. Enjoyed your review a lot. Thank you!
The 1911 is a good entry-level pen to the "gold nib club", but I think the Lamy 200, Pilot C74 and Platinum 3776 Century are probably more popular in that capacity, especially the Japanese models due to their availability on the grey market and nib options. Still, I find the 1911's understated elegance to be quite attractive.
Greetings from Italy!
I have never tried writing with a gold nib pen before. Maybe I'll invest in a Lamy 2K?
For entry level gold nibbed pens you can't go wrong with a Lamy 2000, Pilot Custom Heritage 92, or Platinum 3776.
I don't currently have a Sailor in my collection, but I'd love a chance to win one. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for this review, which coincidentally coincides with a recent return from Japan. I happened to purchase several pens on my wish list so am now the owner of a Platinum 3776 in S-F Bourgogne and a Nice in F. However my first gold nib is the Pilot Custom 74 in Music just for fun. So to answer your question, that would be my first and certainly not my last. The Sailor would make a nice addition !
Oh man! My grail pen is the Sailor 1911! The nib design is my favorite. Drool!
As for entry level gold nibs, I've looked at the Pilot e95s, but I've never seen one in person. I've tried a Custom 74 before at a pen shop and thought it was pretty decent too.
When I personally move up to a gold nib, though, I'll be splurging for the Sailor brand.
Hi David, thanks for the review. I have never owned a gold nib pen, so don't really have a favorite... I've heard that can be nice writers due to the gold alloys allowing a bit more flex than most steel nibs. I would certiainly like to try one to see what the hype is all about. Also, I used to be a sailor, so PICK ME! PICK ME!Cheers, mike
My favorite entry level gold nib pen is the Platinum 3776, but I have always thought the Sailor 1911 Standard looks much better. Thanks for doing these reviews - Figboot for president 2020 !
Though I haven't gotten a good nib pen, though I'm leaning towards a platinum 3776 as my first gold nib. I can't completely choose between that and a Lamy 2000, though, and I was looking for some opinions.
Thanks for the giveaway!
For an entry gold nib pen, I'd choose a LAMY 2000 Makrolon. However, its smaller sweet spot wouldn't be that great for those not used to writing with fountain pens, in which case I'd recommend a Platinum 3776 or Pilot VP.
My entry into gold nib pens was the Lamy 2000 with a broad nib. While I like the pen, I don't know that I would select it again as a first pen. Mostly because of the nib size. My second and only other gold nib is the Sailor Pro Gear Imperial Black. I do like Sailor's nibs and would like to add this H-B to my collection. Thanks for the giveaway!!
First and only gold nibbed pen I bought was the 14k Platinum PTL-5000A. What was surprising for me was it's toothy, rather than glassy as I would expect from a gold nib but still enjoyable and pretty flexy. The body is light and cheap but the converter adds needed weight to it so it doesn't feel bad at all.
Hi Mr. Figboot! I have a couple Japanese gold nibbled pens, including a pilot custom 74 and platinum 3776 and would love to try a sailor 1911! I've only heard great things from these pens, but as a graduate student I don't have a lot of funds to purchase one. Thanks for the review and thanks to pen chalet for the giveaway!
I don't own a gold-nibbed pen, so I wouldn't know which is my favourite. I haven't used many, only my dad's MB 146 and MB Generation, and I absolutely love how they feel. I've wanted a Lamy 2k for quite a while but haven't pulled the trigger.
My favourite entry-level gold nib pen is the Platinum 3776 in any nib size. I find them pretty underrated in our community. I would like to try a Lamy 2000; maybe that one would dethrone my current choice. Till then, I go with the Platinum. Cheers, David!
You just cannot beat the Platinum 3776 as an entry level gold nib. It's got everything! Build quality is there, nice looks is there (questionable, but i assure at least the colors are much nicer live than on webpages), the writing experience is really good if you like pencil like feedback. The con is the converter which is quite annoying. I have a burgundy one and an entry level maki-e. I do not recommend the maki-e. It is pretty but it is a sticker by all means and the premium for it does not seem right. Bought mine by selling Pokémon cards :P so, it was a good deal.
My entry level gold nibs were a Lamy 2000, Pilot Custom Heritage 92, and a Vanishing Point respectively.
The Sailor and 3376 are good values too, but the appearance is plain by comparison.
One of the first 'really nice' pens I bought was just this Sailor 1911, with a 21k Music nib. I found the nib very feedbacky and hard so I don't use it much, I'm sad to say. The 14k nib you show here seems a bit softer, though again not very smooth ... Thanks for the review.
I have a small collection of 8 pens; 5 Pilot Metropolitans, 1 Lamy Al-Star, and 2 TWSBI Ecos. Being a student I tend to go for lower priced work horse pens. I have yet to have the pleasure of owning, or evening trying, a gold nib pen.
My first gold nib pen was a school pen back in the mid 1960s - a Platignum Pressmatic. That pen was lost many years ago. I have found a youtube video featuring one - th-cam.com/video/559VG7HwhQc/w-d-xo.html. For a modern day entry point gold nib pen my suggestion is the Platinum Century 3776.
My first gold nib pen was a Pilot Vanishing Point which I bought early into the hobby. I wish I'd waited until I knew more about pens because it was really scratchy (my fault for getting an EF nib) and I didn't know how to smooth it out. My only current gold nib pen is a Lamy 2K. I enjoy it but I'm still getting used to the small sweet spot. I'm waiting on a Platinum 3776 to arrive to see how that compares.
Thanks for this and all of your other reviews. Keep up the great work!
Hi, I presently own about twenty five to thirty pens, I enjoy using my Pelikan Classic M205 best of all. I'm looking forward to winning the SAilor 1911, never used a Sailor!
Personally, I think one of the Japanese pens with a gold nib would serve well for an entry-level option. Platinum 3776, Pilot Vanishing Point, Sailor 1911. Forced to choose, I'd choose the Sailor.
Thanks for the review, David. My first gold nib pen was the Pilot Custom 74, which I love. I would recommend it to everyone. The Sailor pen looks great, and I need (want) one in my collection. Is the giveaway open to those living outside the U.S. ?
the first gold nib I ever used (and the only one) was the MB 12, I got that pen for 4 days maybe, and I gifted to my father because on this day was the father's day, I hope he's still using the pen xD
well... Sailor, I've never used a sailor pen, but I wish to win this one, I really love the design of the nib, the anchor of sailor's pen is just amazing, good luck to everyone, and nice review!
A good entry level gold nib is a vintage Waterman. Perhaps, the Le Mon 200. I don't have a sailor in my collection, and therefore would like to conjure ever bit of luck I can for this giveaway! Sweet baby Jesus my fingers are crossed.
I would like to have a preference, but I haven't got a gold nib pen yet. My first purchase was going to be the Lamy 2000, but I'm open to try something else first. Maybe this Sailor 1911....
I only have one gold nib pen in total, which is also considered to be an entry-level gold nib: the Pilot Custom 74, with a soft fine nib. I am crazy about my Pilot, but I would really love to try out a Sailor because it is a brand I haven't had the chance to write with yet. I have my eyes on this Sailor 1911 or the Pro Gear Slim, which are the maximum budget range for me, but have yet to raise money for it yet:). Thank you for the review!
Good Day David, I own a Sailor 1911S which I had john montishaw custom grind the nib to .32mm, this is my favorite pen and if I am lucky enough to win this pen I am sending it to mike masuyama to do a fine cursive italic grind. Keep up the great videos. Have a great day. Barry Levitt
I've just started getting into fountain pens so I don't yet have a gold nib pen. I'm finding that I enjoy the Japanese finer nib pens over western pens. Granted, my experiences are limited to two Pilot Metropolitans and a Lamy Safari. I have a TWSBI Eco stub on order to see how I like stubs. The first gold nib pen that I'm looking at getting sometime next year is the Pilot Vanishing Point.
The Platinum 3776 Century is a great starter gold nib pen, especially their Soft Fine gold nibs - they are glorious!! Thanks for the review David and the giveaway too, courtesy of @PenChalet
David, thank you for all the information you provide. Your work is much appreciated. My entry level gold nib is my only current gold nib pen...a Platinum #3776 Century. I am very happy with it.
I have an old 1911L that I bought used with an HB nib that seems like it had some work done on it. I totally love it! As for an "entry level" gold nib-- mine was a Lamy 2000, probably still my favorite pen.
My first choice for a gold nib entry level pen would be the Lamy 2000. I did some research on other pens too but I think that the Lamy Service is superior if you live next to Germany....
If I am wrong please let me know it, because that would give me more opertunities for buying a nice entry level gold nib pen.
PS: if i made errors in writing english, please let me know it, it would be a helpful to improve my english :)
Thanks for another great review, definitely has me thinking about getting a Sailor.. (and the discount code certainly helps!). As far as entry level gold nib pens, I would say either a Lamy 2000 or a Pilot Custom 74 are great places to start, I've found both to be well made, reliable, and both write really well.
Hi -- great review. The first gold nib I bought was a Namiki Falcon--light and with sufficient flex for me. The comparison sizes that you do are great. It might have been interesting to see it compared to the larger Sailor. I'm interested in buying a Sailor but need to compare the size in the hand (and check my wallet).
Thanks for another giveaway, David. I would have to go with the Pilot Custom Heritage 91. Great nib options, reasonably priced, fantastic workhorse pen.
My only gold nib is the platinum 3776 in soft fine which I do find somewhat difficult to write quickly with (probably because I'm a lefty and have to push the nib across the page which isn't too compatible with the flex).
Did you mention what the cap mechanism was in the video? (I might have missed it)
Also the size comparisons might be slightly improved if you showed one pen on each side of the review pen at a time :) otherwise a fantastic review
The best entry level gold nib pen according to me is the pilot celemo / platinum ptl 5000A . It comes with a 14 k gold nib and is listed for just 45 USD on amazon.com ,. Isn't that amazing ???
I was really spoiled by my first gold nib pen, the Pilot Custom Heritage 92 -- more for the fact that it's a superbly constructed piston-filler than for the nib itself, though the nib is great too. I also love my Pilot Stargazer, a beautiful pen and an excellent writer! Never tried a Sailor though *fingers crossed* :)
Thanks as always for the review!
Well, I remember the times when most of the pens had golden nibs. Then Pelikan from M200 series would be entry lvl pen - yes till 90' they all had golden nibs & they were much cheaper than are now (also didn't have a letter before series number as far i as remember). At least it was entry pen for me. those weren't my first golden nib pens i owned but first i've bought on my own. Nowadays though, i really don't know what would it be ;)
Thusfar my Lamy 2000 is my favourite entry level gold nib pen however, I don't have the Sailor 1911 Standard to compare it with. This is more of a classic cigar shape whereas the Lamy is slick and yes still modern, after all these years.
As far as entry-level gold nib pens go, I'd say a vanishing point because they're incredibly convenient and easy to find, or a Platinum 3776, which can be found for less than $70 on Amazon.
Thanks for the review. I like that "1911" number! I'm a fan of the Pilot Vanishing Point, which I use at work, specifically because of the ability to access the nib one-handed.
I am pretty new to fountain pens, so an entry-level Sailor would be just the thing, particularly coming from my favorite pen reviewer! I do not have any gold nib pens, only an Ahab and a Lamy knock-off. Thanks for another nice review.
Great review. For my birthday I got my first gold nib pen a Pilot Custom 92 FM after more than 24 years using a Lamy Al Star medium nib which was buttery smooth. At first I didn't like too much writing with the Custom 92, it didn't felt as smooth as my Lamy, but with the time that feeling has changed for good. Problem is that I apply almost no pressure at all and sometimes the line will be almost non existent so had to go back and re write some letters.I have heard a lot of good things about Sailors nibs, many people say that are better than Pilot and Platinum so I am hoping to get a Sailor for Christmas.
Nice review, as always. Seems like everyone else has a Lamy 2000 and a Pilot "Capless". But I'll add my vote to both. This is a pen that I've looked at for a while, and now I might need to look again. Thanks.
I would have to say the e95s or the 3776. In terms of the literal term "entry-level," it's hard to not recommend fine Japanese quality and a gold nib for under $90, so I think the 3776 takes the edge there.
I don't know much about entry-level gold nibs but, as my first gold nib pen I bought a Parker Vacumatic Silver Pearl. I just LOVE how it looks.
Well I'm still pretty new to the FP hobby and don't have a gold nib yet. I really like the Edison pens I've tried, and that may be my entry into the gold nib. Sailors look great, and a 1911 King of Pens is on my bucket list. Another great review.
My favorite has been my Pilot Custom Heritage 91 and right after that would be the Lamy 2000. The Lamy would have been first pick but the extra fine nib I received was horrible and had to send it off to get fixed by Marc Bacas
Lamy 2000, because that's the only gold-nibbed pen I've ever tried out.
the fig boot rules!
I believe a good entry level gold nib pen is the Platinum #3776 Century and it's the one I plan to purchase for my first ! Thanks for the giveaway and I'll definitely check out Pen Chalet.
My entry level gold nib pen would be the 3776.
Just a question though, what pen would you describe as having sharp threads? All the reviews I've watched seems to say the threads are not sharp for this pen or that. Thanks.
Thanks for the giveaway. My entry level gold nib pen was a platinum 3776 followed fairly quickly by another 3776. I like them, but would also love to win!
