...and having recommended it, I now have to disappoint, as you're
unlikely to find one except as a corporate prize of some sort.
Quill is yet another pen maker that wriggles in the grasp of
Sanford, and while they do have a website and it does actually have a public
purchase area, they seem to be working hard to get rid of all vestiges
of fountain pens. They also seem to have picked up the operation
from Providence, Rhode Island (home to noted Waterman user H.P. Lovecraft)
and moved it to Janesville, Wisconsin, which is where Parker pens used to be made; this is the sort
of sound business sense that gives us the economy we all enjoy so much
today. So, if you see a Quill, grab it, and check the papers that
come with it to see where it was made. The Providence ones seem
rather nice.
One of the aspects of the British Parkers which frequently draws
comment is the brilliance of the points. This one has a startling
huge glob of tipping on it, and it writes with amazing smoothness.
