Man it's just not fair to tease a dyed in the wool stub/italic fan with pics like those! Just beautiful & I'll bet they each write like a dream (with the possible exception of the snorkel on the right side of pic 1, with the feed cocked at a 45 degree angle to the nib) :grin

Thanks for the Kudos, Dennis. I collect two kinds of pens most actively: Solid Gold Sheaffer's and Sheaffer's with interesting nibs (especially stubs!) Below are pen pictures with close-ups of their stub nibs.
