Pilot Falcon with flexible nib

It arrived.
It's got gorgeous laquer.
But... The nib and I really don't like each other.

I just don't get on with it at all... Which is weird because my vintage sheaffer with it's semi-flexible nib is just as fine and just as flexible!

Fortunately, the Mrs has saved me the hassle of boxing it up and returning it to Cult Pens for a refund / exchange... She tried it, loves it and has snaffled it! It's now been inked with Diamine Syrah and she's busy using it in one of her journals; proclaiming it to be "a superb pen, and a wonderful writer".

I've been promised a custom ground Stub nib for my Pelikan M800 by way of exchange in the near future, so all for the best, eh? :-)
