A gift from my wife. A La Grande or 146 with an oblique broad nib.

That looks very elegant. If I wasn’t so afraid of leaking inks I would get into fountain pens too.
In some cases it isn't the pen that is at fault. If a cartridge or converter has a bad seal where it attaches to the feed it will allow air to enter the system uncontrollably and so the pen will leak. Re-seating and if necessary replacing a stretched or damaged cartridge or converter can resolve this.
