Huh.

I received my ring top from Pendemonium yesterday, and it's pretty disappointing. "Very Good Condition" obviously means a 15% brassed lever, a 95% brassed ribbon ring, and 25% brassed cap rings. The nib is also useless - badly re-tipped with the majority of the tipping ball on the end of one tine. Unusable.

On a brighter note, in the same package was my long-awaited bottle of Stipula 'Moss Green' ink, which I love. The bottle is beautifully boxed and quite large in size at 70ml. I'm really happy with this ink - wonderful and super-smooth flow, terrific shading, and as it is not heavily saturated it has very good drying time.
