I live in Killeen Texas and am currently visiting family in Clarksville,Tennessee. I am looking for a place that deals with fountain pens besides like a local staples or office depot. What would be even better would be if there is a place where I can ink them and try them out before I buy.
I have 3 fountain pens already a Pelikan M200, Cross Sentiment and a Waterman Harmonie all of which I bought online.
I think you will have to look in bigger cities than Killeen and Clarksville. I would try luggage stores or gift shops in high-end places like The Mall at Green Hills in Nashville or The Galleria in Dallas. Also stores like Neiman-Marcus and Tiffany's. Fountain pens are not in use by many people, so only specialty stores are likely to carry a large selection of them. I'm not sure they will let you put ink in them to try them out, though they might have a sample pen you can try.
