Well, I return to shamefacedly admit to finding my beloved fountain pen . . . buried at the bottom of a backpack that I don't remember putting it in. I'd apologize to the cleaners for suspecting them, but I've never seen them. It is nice to have my pen back.

And I have an exactly identical fountain pen, another Waterman, coming from an eBay seller in the UK. I guess I will now have my original and a spare. Sigh.
