Brown?! That is crazy and awesome.
I'm not a pen fetishist (bey claims to be, but given the ratio of quantity to quality in his collection I think he's more a pen hoarder than any kind of actual connoisseur), but I received as a graduation gift one of these
seven-year pens. It's only been one year, but so far it's still going strong. Nicest pen I've owned to date.
