Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Anello Fountain Pen

In the October/November 2008 issue of Stylus magazine, Mel Strohminger and Howard Edelstein teamed up to do their Road Test of the Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Anello fountain pen. On a scale of 100, Mel gave the pen a 91, while Howard marked it was a 90. That looks like an "A" to me!

The Anello fountain pen is a cartridge/converter fountain pen sporting a semi-flexible 18K gold two-tone nib and features a matte black ebony barrel with platinum-plated rings. The fluted cap has Faber's fabulous spring-loaded "S" clip. A sampling of comments includes "uniformly well made" and "smooth consistent writing. This pen carries a limited lifetime warranty and is priced at $495. http://www.scottsdalepen.com/fabercastell-classic-anello-fountain-p-1722.html
