@bsodmike Why did you sell your Fitzgerald?

@AUSNick87 I've actually changed as a collector over time. Decided I
want to be practical with all my pieces - it was one of the reasons I
sold my Dickens, Shaw, and Fitzgerald. Yes, they are all WE pens. I
might look at getting another Fitzgerald sometime in the future as it
was by far my favourite.

@bsodmike wow, that's very cool. It's nice your a collector who finds a practical use for his collector's items. :)

@AUSNick87 it depends where I'm living at the time. When I'm at home I have my pen box which makes it far more enjoyable to maintain a larger rotation of pens. However, when I'm travelling or at work I try to limit myself to 5 FPs (on rotation) and the 100th Anniversary BP.
There was a time when I'd rotate over 10 FPs during the week!
Very nice review. I used to have the 149 14C nib. It was quite too big for my taste why I had to let it go.

@solidpnoy My first 149 from my dad (the one with the 14C nib) was the start of it all; I'm now at four 149s, with the new three sporting different nibs.

@bsodmike I forgot to ask on the other comment, are you a member of the fountain pen network? It's been a boon to me, I think I must be about the only person under 40 (much less under 25) to use a fountain pen for close to a thousand kilometers around, south Australia isn't a global hotspur for fine writing instruments, makes me feel a little less mad to see other peoples much more robust collections...with a collection like yours you would fit right in, it's making me itch for a montblanc, I'v
