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.

I received my pen and it seems to be a smooth writer and works as advertised. One thing I noted is that the crescent does not rotate a full 180 degrees as specified. It just turns about 30 degrees to either side of the filler bar.

Hmm--Well, I have a number of both contemporary and vintage Conklin Crescent Fillers in my FP quiver. By happenstance, along with a couple of Namiki VPs, a Visconti "Art of Writing" and a Bexley 2017 Owners' Club LE are two Conklin Crescent Fillers. Both perform quite will in the way I demand...day to day writing...

Wow, using a steel nib and claiming to be "an exact replica of the original auto-filling fountain pen, with a series of modern finishes." I don't know if whoever wrote that is ignorant or a liar. The nib is what makes those vintage pens desirable, this is a mediocre pen.

What material is used in the nib? Steel? Iridium?

I'm a huge fan of the old Conklins. However, these newer models are not of the same quality. I have this pen in Orange and the gold cap ring adhesive was defective when I got it and the clip broke less than a week afterwards with just normal use. The pen itself wrote well out of the box, but for a standard nothing special kind of pen, $120 will buy you something much better.
Frankly, in this day and age, it is unacceptable for a pen to need so much maintenance when it is brand new.

Conklin gets a lot of mileage out of Mark Twain having been a paid endorser for the original version of this pen (though no doubt he did like it well enough, as it was a big improvement over a dip pen). But I love the design. I'd only be interested in the black fake chased-rubber version though.

Be careful with purchasing this pen. Within two weeks of owning an orange/black model, the gold paint on the ring near the grip started chipping off. Not sure how to fix it so it sits unused. Also, Conklin nibs tend to be unusable out of the box.
