Overall What is your opinion of the quality of this item? This is the first Cherry Blossom pen I’ve bought. The collaboration with the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and cherry blossoms is well done. The images of Franklin and Eleanor are nicely done with the patina. Cherry blossoms are interspersed among the memorial images. The 1.1mm stub nib writes really well with excellent line variation. I put De Atramentis Franklin Roosevelt (Tungsten purple) in the pen. It’s a great pair. The pen is very well thought out and executed. Like the other reviewer, I wish Fala was on the pen too.

What is your opinion of the quality of this item? After using this pen for several days, I find it to be an excellent writer with consistent ink flow and a smooth nib (mine is a medium). Although I have never visited the FDR Memorial, I believe the overall design of this pen represents the memorial very well, based on some study of it online. There is great symbolism and meaning expressed here, both in the graphics and tactile features included. If I have any regrets, it is that Fala was not included on the pen, and I feel that his image on the pen cap finial would have been most appropriate. Even so, this pen is a real treasure and a most meaningful addition to the Cherry Blossom Collection. Thanks, Fahrney’s, for making this available.
