WELCOME!!!

Check CSUSA, ArizonaSilhouette, and BearToothWoods. I personally like Jr Gent II, Roundtop Euro, Baron, Perfect Fit, Sierra, etc. But look at what they have and let your taste guide you.

I agree with Dario. When I was at the point you are I moved on to a capped pen. I chose the Jr. Gent and Jr. Statesman because they use the same drill bits and they are capped. You might consider doing a fountain pen for yourself also. That way you can use it and learn all details of owning a fountain pen and be able to tell prospective owners what they need to know. If you know all about fountain pens allready then you wouldn't need to do that, but it really helped me out.

Welcome to the group. In addition to the pens mentioned by Dario and Les, you might also want to consider the cigar or big ben-style pen. Its a bit beefy, but it sure shows off a beautiful blank, and is also easier for arthritic hands to manipulate, I understand.
