I have the Lapis Centennial Duofold--I also have a white pearl International and a vintage blue stripe Duofold from the 1940's. The fit and finish are impeccable--I love the Ace of Spade medallion on the top of the cap and of course the true arrow clip! The Lapis has a deep glow to it and the gold-plated rings are superb. The nib is large and my fine writes more like a nice medium--flow is consistent and the writing is smooth, and not unlike a fine graphite pencil that you've gotten to just the right spot. Kind of reminds me of the Sailor nibs a bit. I love this pen! and will pass it on to my children knowing it will last. Oh, dealing with Fahrney's is a joy! knowledge and personality--with integrity! I'd pick the Duofold over many other hyped fountain pens.
