Thanks to you both for a fun joint upload with some great Q an A. @ Doug, I just had to say that last week I was the very fortunate recipient in a prize draw here in Australia of a Maiora Ti 22. It's my first Maiora and I still cannot get over the incredible attention to thought, detail, and expertise in the creation of a beautiful instrument. This will be an emotional and forever loved pen. Please pass on my thanks to Nino for his knowledge and passion if you ever have the opportunity. Ha ha, I'm not that well connected! 😂 Dorothy from Oz (Aus).

The conversation about the emotional attachments to particular pens and their history was my favorite part of this video. My motivations for learning to restore vintage pens is very much like yours, Doug. I can’t help but wonder what things were written with the 80-year-old tool in my hand. And the victory of restoration is such a rewarding part of this hobby!

A wonderful "crossover" episode, like they used to do on television. I hope you make it a regular event. It's interesting to see the two of you in a more conversational mode and we viewers feel like we're sitting at the table with you. If you made the trade permanent, then Doug you got a wonderful pen. I'm sitting here with my LM1 inked up (med nib) bought from Andy at the DC Show more than a decade ago. Every time I ink it it surpasses my memory of how nice it writes. Maybe the two of you should trade pens for six months, then come back together to give us your impressions of each other's pens? Maybe you could push each other's boundaries that way. Thanks for the great conversation!

The last question brought tears to my eyes! I've used fountain pens since I was very young, in the 1950s, and have several older pens that were given to me as gifts that I cherish still. I rarely use them, given how nicely some of my modern pens write, but they sit in a pen box that takes up the top of a side board in our dining room. Even some more modern pens bring back memories; presently I filled and am using a first year Parker Duofold Centennial (Marbled Maroon) my wife bought for my Birthday at an introductory show at a local Pen Shop (since deceased). It write like a dream!

Thank you both for the informative, informal, as well as pleasant video. Thank you for answering my question (twice in actuality). As for the gold versus steel nib commentary, , I did not consider the longevity of gold nibs, which certainly makes sense. I think though that proper care of steel nibs would lengthen their usage. I own 3 pens with gold nibs. I also expect steel nibs to be around for many years, IF you maintain the nib which is not hard to do. This leads to a question I have about companies that push gold nibs for their pens for their high end models, notably two German companies, Pelikan and Montblanc. Pelikan offers a steel nib for their M205 pen, which is an awesome nib. Why not make these nibs for their M400, M600 and M800 models? The pens would be more affordable and I know they can make great steel nibs. Montblanc made great pens with steel nibs in the 1970s. Why stop?

Doug, you should really do a video with the stories of how some of your subscribers came to fall in love with fountain pens. My fascination began at 5 years old in the doctor’s office. I so clearly remember my doctor pulling out that big burgundy Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 149. The sound of it, pen to paper, has stayed with me my entire life. I can still remember that sound today, 60 years later as if it were yesterday. That moment in time began a lifelong obsession with fountain pens that I have now passed on to my daughter who has embraced it with the same passion. I look forward to purchasing my daughter, whatever her holy grail is when she finishes her PhD in psychology, and pursues her career as a college professor.
