Just more praise for the excellence of TWSBI service. My 580AL has been my everyday pen for over five years with NO issues. Love it. A while back I dropped it on the sidewalk, which cracked the barrel. I made an email request and TWSBI sent out a replacement barrel the next day. Only charged me $4.00. Wow. Thanks TWSBI!!!

Through Pendleton Brown's Butter Line Stub~Italic nibs, I was introduced to the notion that TWSBI issues different colors now and again for this model. I seem to be accumulating them. These are really nifty pens! I've exhausted my capability for sleuthing out the various colors before I have to return to the real world. I am aware that blue is relatively recent, but all I know is that I ordered one from Pendleton on Fountain Pen Day 2015. I am aware of these colors: - Silver - Purple - Blue - Orange (which I appear to have missed) Are there other colors I've missed in the Diamond 580AL line? Any knowledge of when they were issued?

Hi all, Just wanted to share some pictures I took of my 580al! I recently got this as a workhorse for school notes, and never noticed how beautiful it was until I unboxed it. Here it is inked with Diamine Aqua Blue: http://i.imgur.com/KIeT1oT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3Up7lTT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/a1DWsxb.jpg

I have read so much about the TWSBI's having problems. Yet there are many people who just love these pens. I have formed the idea that the 580AL is less problem prone since it has an aluminum section. Am I correct in this assumption ? Or is the difference in build quality not worth worrying about ? I actually prefer the looks of the 580 (non-AL version).
