From my experience a 250 is a 200 barrel & cap with a 400 nib. In a twist of good fortune this summer I bought a pen on ebay this summer. It was represented as a clear demo M200. When it arrived it was a clear demo, however it had a wonderful M400 nib in it. Needless to say, I didn't leave the...

I've been working my way through the first issue of "Stylus" since it showed up. Today, I was reading the article on pens of President Kennedy. A few sentences in the article, along with one of the pictures, were intriguing (to me, anyhow :0). The author, John Loring, states: "This is an...

I'm going to Vienna, Austria for business this week, flying tomorrow. Where are the pen stores? I'm interested in new and vintage fountain pens, good users like of course Pelikan and Namiki, not interested in limited editions. Prefer first district, 9th district, and 22nd district (between...

I have an Aurora Ipsilon that I purchased on ebay. It was supposed to be the Deluxe version (that means it should have a 14K nib). It is a black and silver model, so the nib is a silver version (not obviously gold). My question is: there is no mark of "14K" or other designation on the nib....
