I don't make many fountain pens but have a few made up as examples for people to see what's available.
I was asked to show some postable pens to someone who wanted to buy one to give as a retirement present. She picked out a Baron in Walnut but was horrified when she unscrewed the cap to find it was a fountain pen!
"Could I remake it as a roller ball" she says?
"Why" says I?
"Because he's left handed, and left handed people can't use a fountain pen"!

Never heard that before, is there any reason why this should be?

[QUOTE="Neil Lawton, post: 112522, member: 365"] I don't make many fountain pens but have a few made up as examples for people to see what's available.
