I am very careful to show every aspect of the pens, so nothing is left to the imagination. My descriptions and close up photos go the extra mile, so please examine them carefully. Never, ever put drafting ink such as India ink or Carters drawing ink in the pen. It will ruin the pen. Only fountain pen ink, of which there are endless choices available. If you are bidding on a lever fill fountain pen, remember that to fully fill the sac, after immersing the nib and a little of the section in ink and returning the lever to its…
