NOS Delta indigenous people special limited edition.

Bear with me as I am new to pens but I received this beauty yesterday and inked it for the first time in its life today. It's going to take some getting used to as I have never used one before.

Looks beautiful, John. I am new to fountain pens myself but now find I'm obsessed with them. Your Delta is way above the caliber of anything I own at present. Looks like it has good line variation and can take some pressure when writing. Using Iroshizuku ink is a great choice also! I'm using the kon-peki in my flex nib pen (Noodler's Ahab) and love it! I'm sure other more knowledgeable members will be along to give a better critique. Unfortunately, this sub-forum doesn't seem to get a lot of hits but we have to consider that this IS a Rolex forum. I go over to fountain pen network to get most of my pen fix!

Thank you for the kind words. I wish I could use it more but with most of my writing being on triple carbon copy paper I cannot.

I find the same problem. I'd love to use it at work more but in my case the paper quality is cheap on the charts I need to write on and fountain pen ink, no matter if I use a F nib and no pressure, tends to feather . Incidentally, what started out as nice handwriting ends up looking like crap.
I've stated journaling about one hour a night so my FP's get their work out then !

That is a worthy writing instrument from a front Italian pen company.

I have several Deltas and they are all perfect! Congratulations!

Thank you! I am finding that there is a learning curve for writing legibly with a fountain pen, but I am enjoying the use I am getting.
