I took my time writing this review. I ordered this pen before Christmas last year and it only arrived 7 months later. This was not the pen company fault. Brexit and covid. I was informed by the pen company about it. Cant fault them there. Pen Company 4 stars. The m1000 fine nib, well this is a different story. Beautifuly made, bouncy nib. But crap. Fine nib writes as a broad, when it bothers to write. Multiple dry starts. Seems italic. Could not be more disappointed. Was going to return but it took 7 months to get here in the 1st place. I cant recommend buying fountain pens online. This is a high end pen. And its crap. I should have returned it. But i thought to give it a few weeks to break in. Dont make that mistake. Return. So disappointed with online pen buying. Test before you buy, will pay more but at least you get a good pen. This m1000 is usless, was to be my grail pen. Can't recommend.
