First El Toro

[samuel07]

I've been hooked on fountain pens so I had to make myself another one to compare to my Jr Gent and this is what I came up with.
Sterling Silver El Toro. Shedua? in Laquer.

I like it with the cork in the picture it makes me think of wine barrel

Beautiful pen, I love the finish..

Nice, it matches up quite well on that kit.

Wonderful craftsmanship on the pen and a most excellent photograph. Every detail jumps off the page.

Question regarding this pen...

By the looks of it, I'm guessing that it's too short for a converter to fit in there. So I assume cartridges only, right?

Great job, by the way. I'm a real fan of that pen...it's next on my list for my own collection.

Great looking pen, stunning photo, can you tell me what the resolution of the image is in Megapixels?

The El-toro will not take the ink pump, but if you order a spare tube set for the El-Presidente and use the body tube from that kit it will. (Why they don't just sell the El-Presidente as a FP I have no clue)

Another question regarding this pen...but I think I know the answer...

There's no difference between Berea's El Toro and El Presidente vs. CSU's Little Havana and Havana, right?

The pics on their respective websites look identical.

Very nice work on pen and pic. I've never seen an El Toro before, though I worked on the Marine base in El Toro California. It's closed now.[][xx(] What a pity.

Very nice. I have yet to do a fountain pen. This makes me want to try one.

Nice work on this. The El Toro/El Presidente are two of my favorites because there is a lot of room for experimentation on both. Monteverdi makes a short convertor that will fit in the El Toro. The CSUSA Havana is not exactly the same. Once again, CSUSA changed the clip design but hasn't bothered to change the photos on their site.

That is the slickest little pen. I love the compact size. Nice fit and finish and great photo.
