I don't know what to say about this pen except that it's absolutely gorgeous with a nice soft nib. It's so, so GOLD, and how about that fleur-de-lis chasing!

Seriously, it's hard not to just ogle this thing.

And what blows my mind is that this was a company pen! Maybe a retirement gift? Because I've gotten some nice company gifts, but nothing as cool as this pen.

Y'know, knowing about antique fountain pen brands and where they were based, it surprises me that they didn't go with a local brand like Waterman. Was this cheaper? (Oh, and I misspelled the name. It's Ingersoll with two Ls.)
