New fountain pen for YowCH
YowCH manage to find at Parkson, One Utama (PJ) a Waterman fountain pen of similar design to the set that he has been using for over 15 years, and at only $97 (RM294 after 20% discount of RM368).
Here are views of the new pen against the original set, and a detail against the older fountain pen.
The mid-barrel band of the new pen is larger (more gold) and the pen is slightly slimmer than the old. The older pen is so well used that the cap is loose and the pen tends to drop into his shirt pocket, causing ink-stains. Also the Fine nib has been worn to Medium over the years of usage. The new pen, however, is Medium nib, hence the writing is thicker now.
The ball point and the pencil are still in good conditions and being used daily. The old fountain pen is now decommissioned, washed clean and lies in the box in retirement.
