I just saw where Craft Supply was allowing the quantity discount of 25% on their Limited Edition pens. Normally I wouldn't consider one of the pens since the serial number isn't worth anything to me but with 25% off, the pen with a solid gold nib seems attractive at least at first glance.
With a Limited Emperor listing at $139.99, the discounted price would be $104.99. The regular Emperor would list for $55.99 and discounted to $41.99 or a difference of $63 for the solid gold nib.
But my interest dwindled when I read the kit description which read in part ..."In addition, every pen is supplied with a handmade solid 18k gold 750 broad point fountain nib. This solid 18k gold nib is used by many of the world's top pen makers on their very finest pens. From the hand carved accents to the brilliant Rhodium plating and solid 18k gold 750 B nib, the Limited Edition Emperor Fountain Pen is truly a collector grade pen."
If I am reading this correctly, is this a "bold" nib? If so, who would want to take a chance on a gold nib in hopes the customer wanted a broad point nib. What if they wanted a medium or even a fine nib, you're going to eat that nib, right or am I seeing something wrong?
