Any way, we were in Frankfurt and suddenly it began to pour rain. We ducked into a tunnel that led under a cross street and when we emerged it just so happened to be directly next to a Faber Castell shop. Nice.
We ducked in and I was in heaven. Granted I couldn't afford most of the really nice pens, but I could afford this one.
I liked the styling and I liked how it wrote and so I made it mine.
This pen takes international cartridges and does not come with a converter. I bought one with a fine nib, and while I would have liked an extra fine, I'm quite pleased with how smoothly the pen writes.
My one complaint is that ink has a tendency to bead up on the nib when it's capped and so I'm always having to wipe it off.
This is minor complaint in what is in all other ways a very fine pen.
