Yes, in the plural. But not the Sapporo or 1911. Rather, I've found a source in the UK (The Writing Desk) that carries the Lamy abc - the fountain pen for children that I stumbled across in the Berlin airport 3 years ago or so. So I've now ordered a bunch, so I can keep one at home, one in the office and one in the bag that goes to seminars. I did switch from a medium nib to a fine one, which I like much better.
I still like them a lot, and think they are probably the nicest inexpensive fountain pen I have. I like them better than the Lamy Safaris I have.
I also ordered some converters for them, and the office pen is now using one of them, and Noodler's Eternal Polar Blue. I quite like the color. It comes out slightly darker than it appears on my monitors, but that's fine with me. If I can figure out how the links / photos here work again, I might upload a sample.
As a little plug - the people at the Writing Desk have been quite friendly and helpful. I'm sure I'll end up ordering from them again.
And will probably be moving this blog (or just letting it die) - Xanga (originally recommended by a friend, and used to be fine) seems to keep adding "features" that I just find more annoying and make the site difficult to use.
