From Conklin's website:

New Limited Edition Duraflex™ Freedom: A revitalization of a classic and timeless design from the Conklin Pen Company®. Spirited and vibrant, this new collection celebrates the inherent meaning of the word freedom and everything it encapsulates. Whether it be freedom from stress or financial burden, freedom from oppression or persecution, and especially freedom of press, speech, or the written word. A dazzling confetti like pattern of patriotic red, whites, and blues are displayed along the body, combined with polished chrome trim, bands, and clip. Engraved along the barrel is the Duraflex™ name along with the limited edition number exclusive for each pen, filled in with silver color for a striking contrast. A brilliant chrome OmniFlex™ nib is individually hand fitted to each fountain pen, intricately cut for maximum performance with every stroke. Whether writing or drawing, the nib flexes more easily than that of a normal nib, resulting in strokes reminiscent of traditional brush calligraphy. This is a limited run of 1898 pieces for the fountain pen and 898 for ballpoint pens. Fountain pen uses standard international cartridge or a converter (included). The twist-action ballpoint is accompanied with a refill and accepts any of the Monteverde USA® P1 and P4 refills. Each Limited Edition Duraflex™ Freedom is housed in a luxury gift box lined with rich satin. Show off your liberty and your pride with the all new Limited Edition Duraflex™ Freedom collection. Get each writing instrument individually or together for the perfect set!

The fountain pens come with a screw-in piston converter for bottled ink...but as with all new pens, I recommend to run a dilute solution of dishwashing soap (two or three drops to a small bowl of water) through a new pen a few times, followed by water only. Step one is effective at removing manufacturing oils that can tend to make the ink less than enthusiastic in heading from the converter/filler to the nib, and step two removes the traces of the detergent you've used...which tends to have the opposite, diuretic effect. The pen will also take International-style cartridges, such as those from Private Reserve. The large, blue Conklin gift box, starter cartridges and warranty are included.

 

 

 

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors  -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.

The only 100% guarantee of course comes when the pen is actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

Warranties and returns

If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment.

Should you wish to return a non-defective item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit you for some reason, again please email us and we'll arrange an exchange, credit or refund (minus any shipping/insurance charges), if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition. If you've dipped a fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean off any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty surprise .

We want you to be happy with your purchase from HisNibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
