Things are OK Sir! I have my first ST Dupont incoming in a few days. A carbon fiber Defi. Been chasing that pen since about 2013 or so. How are things on your end? I hope the knee is doing well.

The knee is good! Should be as its new and comes with a 30-year warranty!��

I also picked up a Dupont a year or so ago! My first also.

Congratulations on yours. Any pics?

Here's mine:

Very nice.

Here are some examples of the different style and size ST Duponts:

From the left: Classique, Gatsby, Standard Montparnasse, Chairman Montparnasse, Ellipsis, Fidelio, Orpheo and Olympio.

And in the lower image the really big Neo-Classique, the all grown up version of the pen on the far left above:

Those look great! I see more ST Dupont’s in my future. The tuning on the nib is just a bit different. It’s not specifically like any other pen in my collection. I can’t guarantee that the nib hasn’t been worked on, but it does have a slightly different feedback.
