Conklin Mark Twain Crescent Filler Fountain Pen

In skimming over the discussions, I didn't see anyone mention this thread: two weeks ago I received an email from Support informing me that the pens had been backordered, and 1) rather than keep me waiting, they were cancelling my order, and 2) as compensation , they were giving me a $10 credit on my next order. Well, I suppose the $10 is nice, but what I really wanted was the pen. I wonder how many others were affected by this? Also, and this is really the issue: I still would like to have the pen. When might we see this as happening? Also, retailers are still selling the pen, so it's not as if it isn't available on the market.
