  1. About three years ago I went to Leeds to meet a friend I hadn't seen in a while, and we went shopping. In a shop called Pylones (which I believe is a French chain) I found a shelf of various fountain pens and since they were only about £5 each, I bought one. This pen became my favourite pen of all the pens I've used since. Only problem is, I dropped it a while ago, and the plastic piece inside the lid that seals it so the ink doesn't dry out cracked. The body of the pen is metal, so all I really need is a new lid, but as the bit you stick the cartridge on has started to detach from the grip, I thought that the easiest thing to do would be to buy a new pen. I have searched and searched, but I cannot find a trace of this pen's existence online. Pylones's website doesn't have any record of it, and a google of 'pylones fountain pen' doesn't return anything helpful. I'm not inclined to pop over to Leeds and find the shop again just on the offchance that they still sell them (because that's an expensive trip for a £6 pen that may not be there) so I thought I'd try this place and see if anyone could help me. The pen is light green and looks like enamel (but may not be) and has a pattern of golden lines and copper dots. The clip on the cap is golden. It used to have 'Personal Computer' printed near the bottom of the pen, but that rubbed off while ago. I think that may have been the name of the design as I remember there were about four or five different colours of this pen. The lid has 'R 310' printed on it. Both ends of the pen come to a rounded point. The whole thing is made of metal, and it's slightly wider and heavier than usual for pens. The grip and nib are both silver in colour, and the nib says 'IRIDIUM POINT GERMANY' on it. It takes universal cartridges and has room to fit a spare in the body. It's about 13.5 cm long with the lid on. If anyone knows or has this pen or one like it, please let me know. Photos below (sorry for bad quality)
