My daughter in law, an accomplished poet, has just been awarded a full scholarship for an MFA and a PhD at UDub. This is for her as a "congratulations, write lots" gift. It's Italian Duofold Yellow resin with ebonite and aluminum fittings and a JoWo nib. Thanks for looking, and thanks, University of Washington (home of "The Wave!").

Wow, really nice pen!

Well now. You should run your finger nail over those sections looks a tad under turned......:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Okay now for the seriousness. Very classy pen. As a former writer I can say she should be very pleased. The best gift someone gave me during that time of my life was a nice pen and journal.

Very nice looking pen. I'm not much for a yellow pen but that black & silver trim really set it off.

Looks great Doug! Love that yellow.

I gifted a nice FP to a great friend of mine for her HS graduation. She's now in college majoring in writing and english. She uses it EVERY day.

I love the yellow "dot" (for lack of the proper technical term) on the top of the cap.

Very nice. Where do ya'll get the thicker aluminum? Soda cans are still pretty thin to me... I use the sides.. Maybe the bottoms?
