I used to think gold nibs are always better. Hence, I have a good collection of pens with gold nibs. Over time, I've come across steel nibs that write so smoothly that one would think they're gold (Franklin Christoph, Italix, Diplomat Soft Touch, etc.). So, I've learned to be more open-minded about steel nibs. With these pens though, it looks like the premium is for the artistry and licensing costs with the GOT franchise, which you can't appreciate unless you're a hardcore GOT fan. I happen to be one, so I went ahead and ordered the Targaryen pen. I've been looking at these pens and this price is the best I've seen.

TMagnoI do agree, this is the best price I've seen for these pens, especially considering they come with a licensed Moleskine notebook.
And I know what you mean about gold v. steel nibs. The nib on my pelikan M205 is at least as smooth as my lamy studio with a 14k nib. Same is true of my Diplomat Excellence B. I just feel like there's an intrinsic value there in a gold nib that should be included in pens above a certain price point. But I'm open to being wrong.

writerstephenDitto, and as a GoT fan I'm open to owning the collection. At times HBO will dish out a 30% code but the normal discounts are normally 20-25% book not included... This is a competitive price.
