Keep Calm And Carry A Fountain Pen

I took a couple of shots of one of my recent eBay acquisitions - a fountain pen made by the Shanghai M&G Stationery company in China- and decided to try some quick photo editing (~click on images to enlarge~)

Its hooded steel nib writes smoothly and the pen fits comfortably in a pocket, so it's a great little pen to carry with you on trips :)

Photos from our April and May meetings will be posted in the next few days!

Theme: NIB TUNING-presentation by VPC member Jerred!
Many of you have requested this topic, so we're fortunate that Jerred agreed to do a presentation on it (complete with visual aids). Thank you, in advance, Jerred for your time and effort!

Our secondary topic is always NEWEST ACQUISITIONS (pen-related)---eg. new pens/inks/paper/pen cases/other accessories/etc, so if you have any you wish to show, please bring them with you. No need to RSVP for this meeting. Hope you can make it!
