"The pens arrived early this week and they are BEAUTIFUL. I couldn't wait to give J his Regatta and he loves it! Meanwhile, the Conklin Mosaic has replaced my Dupont as my pen du jour. It writes so beautifully and, even with the stub nib, flows when I pen my signature, which is a quick scrawl and which the Dupont can't keep up with, truth be told. I gave the Stylograph a good workout on the weekend and It. Is. Superb. Absolutely NO hesitation in buying another Conklin. What really blew me away was the smoothness even with a stub nib...something I've loved but been leery of in the past."

These gorgeous new fountain pens from Conklin measure 5-1/2" capped, 6-1/2" posted and 5" with cap held aside. The Stylograph Mosaic resurrects the Art Deco mosaic patterns of the original Conklin models of the 1930's. Each pen is hand-made and therefore no two pens are exactly alike. with the acrylic resins used varying from pen to pen.

The inspired Rocker Clip design is perfectly balanced and will easily fit and hold firm in a shirt, thick jacket or coat pocket -- and does so with one finger upon the top of the clip. Almost 100 years later, it's still a superior -- and often copied -- clip design. It's engraved with 'Conklin' in script.

The top of the cap has a gray metal insert, engraved with 'Conklin' and 'Est 1898', the year of Conklin's founding, covered by a clear resin dome.

The cap band is engraved with 'Stylograph' in script, along with eight crescent C's.

Unscrewing the cap -- which push-posts securely on the barrel end -- displays the two-toned steel nib which is engraved with the Conklin brand name, the historic “Toledo, Ohio, USA” mark and a special crescent shaped breathing hole. The nibs are available in M, F or the new stub sizes (the stub nib is monotone). I've found that the Conklin nibs run about a size smaller than typical western nibs. Hence, I'd classify the M as a fine and the F as an x-fine. The stub is a 1.1 mm medium. Please specify the nib size you'd like, by letter or 'stub' only, to avoid confusion when ordering.

The fountain pens come with a piston converter for bottled ink...but as with all new pens, I recommend to run a dilute solution of dishwashing soap (two or three drops to a small bowl of water) through a new pen a few times, followed by water only. Step one is effective at removing manufacturing oils that can tend to make the ink less than enthusiastic in heading from the converter/filler to the nib, and step two removes the traces of the detergent you've used...which tends to have the opposite, diuretic effect. The pen will also take International-style cartridges, such as those from Private Reserve. The large, blue Conklin gift box, starter cartridges and warranty are included.

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!

Warranties and returns

If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment.

Should you wish to return a non-defective item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit you for some reason, again please email us and we'll arrange an exchange, credit or refund (minus any shipping/insurance charges), if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition. If you've dipped a fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean off any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty surprise .

We want you to be happy with your purchase from HisNibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
