on salePlatinum #3776 Century Fountain Pen - Laurel Green/Gold

This was my grail pen. I wanted a pen that was the perfect shade of green, with gold trim and a gold nib. This was it. The green is dark, but not so dark that you can't tell it is green. It's dark enough that you cannot clearly see the pen's inner workings, but translucent enough to catch light just right. I LOVE Platinum nibs. I have a Procyon and a Curidas and I love them both. The fine gold nib does not disappoint. I don't get any line variation, but that's okay, I don't want any. It writes dry, so no smearing, blobs instead of closed-loop letters, or anything distracting to deal with. It works well with some of my wetter inks, particularly the ones that are messy in wetter pens. As always, it was packed with a slightly ridiculous amount of care, a Tootsie Pop and a cool addition to my growing sticker collection. Love it, and love the Pencast. Everyone should have the privilege of loving their jobs as much as these guys.

This pen is really delightful. It is my 3rd 3776 and first Century. This pen I chose in a soft fine, and I would add only a critique that the softness does take a moment to get used to and almost writes like the medium in width, but with less consistency in flow. It is fantastic, and once used to the design of the soft fine nib it is consistent and writes like a dream, it is just les wet, in it's light approach and requires a bit more of an intentional hand.

The pen looks great and writes amazingly! The gold nib is much better than my previous steel ones. Love the product.

Great pen, nothing to complain about it as an object. Should have remembered that Japanese nibs tend to be finer than other ones. F has proven a tad scratchy for a left-hander with a relatively large script. Purely a personal failure in the order, and nothing to take away from the product provided.

This pen, in soft fine, is my current daily carry pen. Posted, it feels great in my hand. The soft fine nib is a joy to write with. The classic lines of this pen are timeless and I love the look of the pen. I can't honestly agree that this qualifies as a 'demonstrator,' as it's more nearly translucent than a tinted transparent. Still, light shines through and I think it's lovely. For me, this is an excellent compromise between the writing experience of a high end pen and a more reasonably priced pen.
