OF PEN WORLD DECEMBER 2008 ISSUE
When ordering, please
specify the nib size, fine, medium or broad, and whether
you'd like the pen dropped-shipped directly to you from Monteverde, or would
prefer a detour to me first, so that I can do my usual nib inspection and
tweaking -- if it proves necessary.
Mega rosewood fountain pen/Ink*Ball
Measuring 5-7/8" capped, 7-1/2" posted and 5-5/8" with cap held aside for the
fountain pen, 6-3/4" posted and 4-7/8" with cap held aside for the Ink*Ball.
Clearly, posting is not needed with a pen this size.
Part of that is due to the rosewood Mega's longer cap, as can be see in the photo below.
Size aside, what one first notices is just the sheer beauty of this limited
edition pen (only 300 are being produced). The rich rosewood, with gold
furniture, is very pleasing to behold....and holding it
The capband is engraved with Monteverde USA on one side, and the limited edition number of the pen on the other.
The cap top sports the Monteverde mountain logo.
The pen comes housed in a large, wooden pen box -- that makes quite a statement in itself.
In either fountain pen or Ink*Ball format, it's and extremely attractive writing instrument.
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!

In fact, I wouldn't recommend it, as I wouldn't
want to risk the wood becoming marred.
