Falcon



I've got a dozen or so fountain pens of varying quality; I like to rotate them with different colors, etc. 

I've decided that another fountain pen with a M or F steel nib is the last thing I need; what I should focus on now is writing instruments with some kind of character to them--either 18k or 14k gold nibs, or vintage provenance (like my 1972 Pilot), or special writing properties.  Like the item on the left, the Namiki Falcon...a pen famous for having an extra-flexible nib. 

Maybe I'll treat myself at some point.  Or if any reader is looking for a gift to get me, this or an italic nib Pelikan would do nicely.
