Take a look at the Gargoyle & Dragon ball pens too!
The intricacy of the sculpted pewter overlay is something to behold. Depending upon the model chosen, the pewter is further plated either with gold or antique silver, creating an eye-popping contrast to the glossy black lacquer of the rest of the pen. The Chinese Dragon is rendered in fantastic detail, with each scale sharply apparent as it wraps itself around the pen barrel.
IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.
The only 100% guarantee of course
comes when the pen is
actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our
pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is
getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using
a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords
our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from
His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction.

fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean off

. Unscrewing the cap reveals one of three lovely
nibs, depending upon the model. The two Silver Dragons and the regular Gold
Dragon receive monotone gold-plated, iridium-tipped steel nibs with lovely
scrollwork, and the Gold Dragon with the 14K gold nib is a two-toned one made by
Genius. All three nibs are a sized to a western medium.
