Default Kipling, Nibs, Stylos, and Geyser-pens

In
| Lahore for my /Plain Tales/ I used a slim, octagonal-sided,
| agate penholder with a Waverley nib. It was a gift, and when
| in an evil hour it snapped I was much disturbed. Then followed
| a procession of impersonal hirelings each with a Waverley,


- Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), /Something of Myself/, Chapter 8,
'Working-tools'.

Detailed images of the flex action, imprint, nib shape, chasing, etc...is
available as jpg photos/attachments. Just e-mail if interested. Some of you
asked for them...and I took the photos between pens/parcels/nibs etc... So, if
you want to see - just e-mail
