    Any word on if there will be nib size options? What is a good ACME fountain pen that I can do some research on that may compare to the Beatles fountain pens? I assume these will be C/C pens, do they use international short carts?

    ACME is known for their rollerballs, but they do offer a fountain pen conversion kit, which you can find on our website here : http://www.goldspot.com/Acme_pens/Conversion_Kit/P-NS.html
    This converts any ACME standard designer rollerball into a fountain pen with a medium, stainless steel Schmidt nib. My assumption for the Beatles edition would be that they would stick to only the medium nib size with a cartridge/converter system that accepts international size cartridges like you asked.
