I'm looking forward to this drop. It will be my first "fine" fountain pen and after looking up the Grifos site there is another pen that caught my eye. I did have two questions. The Bog Wood has been Carbon Dated. I'm fine with taking the digital copy from the link but will there be a printed copy in the packaging? The age of the wood makes it an interesting conversation piece. I'm not the most experienced with fountain pens and I opted for the fine nib to go with my fine hand writing. If I find that I would like to change the nib can I order an additional one, that is, if the nib is replaceable?
*update* I'll start by answering my previous question. The pen does come with a copy of the carbon dating. The carbon dating was done in Greek with some English translations. Honestly, that's pretty cool. I'm extremely satisfied with this pen. It's a handsome piece that does get a lot of attention. I ordered my pen with the gold nib in fine and it writes very smoothly. It is fluid but not "wet." If I play with it a little it's easy to get some variation with the line boldness/thickness. I do find that it's good to have a bottle of ink because it's just fluid enough that it will consume its tank relatively quickly.
I'll reiterate how satisfied I am with the pen. I'll be ordering more from Grifos as I've seen a few other models I like.
