A Modern, Cheap School Pen.

[Mike 59]

Hi, I bought this in a book shop recently, Sept '16, and it seems to be a fairly good writer for the low cost price of £5.

It's aimed at the school market, and is all plastic.

Nib is steel in a medium width, and it takes an international short cartridge, and it's possible to put a spare cartridge in the barrel too.

It writes fairly smoothly, no 'hard starts' or skipping.

It was available in black, blue or red.

Very good to know. I intend to try one. Thanks.

Some extra information about this school pen, it is not the pen that shows up in many websites as the pen with a curl in the top of the cap, although from the images, the nib could be the same design.

Also the grip section is rubber, so is grippy, and has a triangular shape to give better locations for the fingers.

The nib and feed do pull straight out, and seem to be made to a high accuracy.

There are also 5 international cartridges included, with Royal Blue ink inside.

That nib looks just like the one on my Ambition... I did stumble upon the other school pen... That curl looks kinda cool!

Indeed, it's quite popular here in Germany and gives the Safari a run for its money as entry level school pen.
