Announcing the arrival of the "Heritage 18's"!

We are pleased to announce that our new premium 18 karat gold nibs have arrived.

Both the large (left) and the small (right) nib are available in Medium or Broad point.  The large nib is also now available in a fine tip!  The nibs can, therefore, be ground to a fine or extra-fine point and virtually any shape, such as stub, cursive Italic, etc.  The design is floral with an inkwell and quill pen motif.  They are marked 18K - 750 which is standard jewelers notation for 18 karat gold.  The 18k gold is further embellished with 24k gold and platinum creating the beautiful two-tone presentation while preserving the working properties of 18k gold.  The nibs are currently only available on certain pens, but we hope to have them available for all of our wood fountain pens by the end of the year.

Thanks to our friends, old and new, who visited us at the Triangle (Raleigh)  Pen Show in June and the Washington DC Fountain Pen Supershow in August.  It was a pleasure seeing all of you and we WILL be back next year!  Our new 3-D Jigsaw Puzzle Pen was introduced at the Supershow to rave reviews.  

I've been asked if it really is a jigsaw puzzle.  Well, here's where it started.

• Heritage Pens spokes model competition!  Watch for details in our Musings section.
