What is your opinion of the quality of this item? I used Pelikan pens for many years, until I bought my first Sailor pen. I now own six of them, and this is the finest of them all. It is beautiful to look at, but even more beautiful to use. The nibs for the Sailor pens have always been the finest I have seen. This one is even better. It is well worth its price This is the finest fountain pen out of the dozen or so that I have used over a period of almsot 50 years.
