Yard-O-Led Viceroy Standard Victorian Fountain Pen

​I was writing with it and your email arrived. The pen writes very well. I used J Herbin ink for the fine nib and it is nice and wet. The feel of the silver is enjoyable. Stephen

This was a gift and the recipient was thrilled! The medium nib has proven to be a wet writer and the silver workmanship is nothing short of stunning. Truly a Grail pen!

The Victorian body is truly a work of art and knowing these are 100% hand made start to finish, is quite remarkable. The pen general design is great, if you appreciate slimmer pens; it's also nicely balanced, not front or back heavy. The Nib (F) and feed seems to be well calibrated, providing decent flow of ink, not too much, not too little. The nib does have some feedback, but it's not super annoying or scratchy; personally I prefer nibs to have a little feedback, but I know some people don't'; it also have some degree of flex, but that doesn't result in much line variations; I have also the (M) nib on another YOL, and that one is capable to generate noticeable line variations. Comparing this Viceroy to both Montblanc 145 and 146, these seems to provide slightly better writing experience, their nibs are amazing, extremely well calibrated. As a whole, this Viceroy is so much more unique and special, both to own and use; but also practically, its slimmer full metal design, great grip section and added weight is much more appealing to me comparing to many other quite boring mass produce plastic pens.
