<p>应该是第4支,我还有支月牙上水老古董</p><p>晕,自己找到资料了</p><p><a href="http://www.stylophilesonline.com/12fph.htm">http://www.stylophilesonline.com/12fph.htm</a></p><p align="left"><font size="+1"><img height="325" src="http://www.stylophilesonline.com/images/12fph2.jpg" width="550" align="right" alt=""/>We'll begin with the Conklin Cocobolo. This pen is based on the Conklin Nozak pen, but in a color exclusive to Fountain Pen Hospital. The color may be the "only" thing special about this pen, but it's more than enough! While the other colors in the new Conklin Nozak line are very nice, this is a different style of material all together. It's a warm combination of brown and cream colors, both resplendent with shimmering highlights.</font></p><p align="left"><font size="+1">The colors are perfectly matched in the cap and barrel. They look great together, unlike some marbled acrylics. Well, OK, that's just my opinion, but there <i>are</i> some patterns and colors that go better together than others! The patterns on these pens seem to vary from example to example. The one we got our hands on has a woodgrain pattern, and is about evenly divided between the darker brown colors and the light cream colors.</font></p><p align="left"> </p><p align="center"><img height="107" src="http://www.stylophilesonline.com/images/12fph3.jpg" width="750" alt=""/></p><p align="left"><font size="+1">The trim is done in silver, as with the regular edition Conklins. Gold plate might have gone better with the warm tones of the browns and creams, but the silver doesn't look <i>too</i> out of place. In any case, the trim on this pen is limited to only the cap band, and the clip. That's it! No extra trim rings at the end of the barrel or next to the section. I usually don't mind a little extra metal on the barrel to balance out the trim on the cap, but in this case, I think it was a good choice. The material is attractive enough not to need the extra "help". The barrel is engraved with the edition number, our sample was 64 out of 100. </font></p><p align="left"><font size="+1"><img height="375" src="http://www.stylophilesonline.com/images/12fph4.jpg" width="500" align="left" alt=""/>This is a pretty good sized pen. I don't know if you'd call it "oversized" that seems to be a term that gets used a lot these days. Let's say it's "full sized", at just under six inches long closed, and barely over a half inch across the barrel. I found it comfortable for my hand, being large, but not too heavy. Maybe a tad too long with the cap posted for me, but fortunately, the barrel is long enough that writing without posting the cap wasn't out of line.</font></p><p align="left"><font size="+1">Once you get the cap off, you will find the large 14K nib Conklin uses on their other pens. It looks to be the same feed assembly as well, which would make sense. The nib is what I have come to expect from Conklins, nice and smooth, not much flex. We weren't able to fill these samples up and test them thoroughly, so I'll leave it at that. Smooth nib, not much flex. The Cocobolo is a cartridge converter filler, and comes supplied with a converter. It looks like the standard generic international converter, and should probably work just fine after a quick rinse to get rid of any lingering oils.</font></p><p align="left"> </p><p align="left"><font size="+1"></font></p><p align="left"><font size="+1">So, with the Cocobolo, we get a nice, large pen, in a pretty attractive color scheme. All this at a "street price" of only $195. Now, assuming that you are Fountain Pen Hospital, just how do you go about topping <i>that</i>?</font></p><p align="left"><font size="+1">You do it with the Visconti Verona, that's how.</font></p>
