A rather more interesting Bristol RELL6L with NIBS was this Marshall bodied example new to East Midland - an operator whose saloons seldom saw futher service. It lasted here until broken for parts in 1988.
Notes for details. Please observe that all the nibs are dirty, meaning they're all inked. Use em or lose em!
EDIT - I thought about it the other day, and between ink and pens and supplies, I think I've spent over $1000 in fountain pens. The sick thing to think about is that when I buy a Mont Blanc, it will cost about the same as half of my current pens.
