Hello Erica,
It was a once in a life time buying. very rare find. (it was a steal too
paid only £21 )
"Gillott 303'' in a general antique sales Pack?
No way... which I never believed it until it came to my door.
I was happy to see the Mapping pens too that belongs to the same time. Those nibs are hand- grinded too which is a bit unusual.
I'll post few works when they are done.
By the way you remember your old thread about writing miniature envelopes exchange with very minuscule lettering ?
So I believe Micheal used a 290/291 "pen upside down" to write his masterpieces on those envelopes!!!
Me I am happy and capable, only to just jot down few words.
nothing special or anything near to that conceptual writing he did. But it is a lovely pen worth trying at very slow space.
