Lock-Down Filler
Two-Tone Medium Nib
I purchased this near-mint Vacumatic at the 2009 Los Angeles Pen Show from Dr. David Isaacson of Vacumania.
The pen is so stunningly beautiful that I simply stared at it for a week before I could bring myself to ink and use it. It’s a very smooth writer and in all likelihood will be the nicest Vacumatic I’ll ever own.
If I had to find fault, I’d say that the nib is a bit too medium for my tastes. I’ll send the pen to dannzeman for grinding just as soon as I can bear to part with it.
