Kind of a grail pen. As a child of the 60s & 70s, I’m fond of rainbows even without their modern symbolism, which I support. Happened to catch this one on sale, and it arrived yesterday. I’m very happy.

Crikey, what a scorcher! A little bit flamboyant for me, but in the right hands...

How does she write?

I don’t mind flamboyant, particularly. It gets noticed. And I love metallic multicolor finishes, which remind me of the 70s.

It writes beautifully, almost as smooth as my 14k gold plated Scheaffer nib. I think I’m going to enjoy having this as a daily driver for a while.

Flamboyant suits some people, I'm not one of them!

I'll only buy black pens until they invent a darker colour.
