Great nib in a great pen. But... this takes "leaving your mark" to ridiculous extremes.

Weren't there dip pens made that had pictures in the handle of them? Seems as I remember they were quite expensive.

1930's celluloid pocket pens... certainly ;)

There were occasionally pens made with stanhopes in the cap. Waterman made one in 1919 (their 35th anniversary) which had a picture of their "Pen Corner" in New York City visible in the peephole. It is shown on page 54 in Fischler and Schneider.

Don't drown in the ink Richard!

Or, as I usually say, living in So. Cal. and a beach person. "Dude, don't drown in the half pipe."
