Product Description
Writing with this Grifos Nero Muse fountain pen is like holding a piece of history in your hand. The barrel is hand-turned from an ancient wood known as “bog oak,” found in the swamps of eastern Europe and carbon-dated to be up to 5,460 years old—that's roughly 1,000 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza!

Have others who purchased this pen had it delivered yet? I have had no updates provided other than advising it was shipped 8 Apr 2020 yet it has not arived yet.
I understand that current delays with COVID but having zero updates to customers is extremely poor.
Are there any more insights into why the drop has been delayed even further? I would really like this pen, but without any idea how long I will wait...
I have been using the bog oak fountain pen with white gold fine nib for the last 130 pages of writing in combination with various J. Herbin inks. Both posted and unposted, this is a very comfortable pen in-hand. The blackened oak barrel is nicely matte-finished and warm to the touch at all times, unlike my stainless steel Lamys and enamel and silver Chopards (as well as others). Gold nibs always seem to be worth the expense.

SolitaryManHello, thank you for your attention on our handmade silver and fossil wood pens, actually we have both (roller and fountain pen) available here on this Drop. Then if you purchase a roller pen and then after you purchase a fountain pen point section is possible to use it as fountain pen (is enough you do not use converter refilling system but only international standard cartridges since the converter end will not fit the end of the barrel since too long). Then the contrary (from fountain to roller pen) isn't possible since the roller refill will drop inside the fountain pen barrel too long for it).
I remain at your disposal! Best regards from aosta Velly, Italy. Maurizio
All right, folks. I'm a bit new to pens so maybe this is my fault, but my bog oak simply will not write. Not a line, not a spot, nada. I made sure the converter is inserted correctly.
Is there anything I can do about this? Or did I just buy a beautiful-but-utterly-useless item?
Sorry, I forgot to reply to this. But thank you for your response and I've been able to fix the problem easily. It's now one of my favourite pens. Thank you. 🙂
