I'm curious if finding these are still possible, especially in the orange color. Thanks!

The A101 and CA101 pens do tend to turn up. The plastic is a bit soft so they often have scratches. The A (aero-fill) series seem to be harder to find than the CA (cartridge) series. White is particularly hard to find. If you get a CA101 plan on reusing the cartridge--that is what I do when I decide to use one.

I still seem to see quite a few A101s on ebay . About a year ago I bought a group of 6, NOS with stickers, in black ,light blue and grey
I have not seen an orange one in the flesh ("in the plastic"?), but I hope that I will someday.

White with the red dot on top is perhaps the hardest to find, dare I say rare. Next to that would be the dark blue version. The rest of the colors are fairly easy to find, most often in the cartridge version. I find the A101's are pretty nice bang around pens and great for travel since every part unscrews and is practically unbreakable by fumble fingered TSA folk.
Enjoy!

So far, I have only the A101 in my collection and it was from a fellow FPN member but as jimg stated, they do pop up on E-Bay once in a while.

Thanks! I gave away a rusty orange one and want to see if I can find a Cartridge one. Thanks!
