I would not sell my butchered Brooks for twice what I paid for it - but at the same token, I would not buy the coolest butchered Brooks for half the price of the original cost... Unless it was butchered by Brooks... In that case it would be a $320.00 butchered Swift... I'd buy that... Maybe I should buy a Swallow.. I'm not too sure if I'm making sense... It's almost 3:00am and I'm drunk... maybe I should just go to bed...

I thought about butchering a Swift or Pro... but really liked the shape of the Swallow... and to be honest, couldn't really live with half of a Brooks logo chopped away. Seemed disrespectful somehow.
(I know The Fixer managed to save the logo on one of his chops....)
