some real nice looking pens in your photo...always had a soft spot for green pens.. ( maybe something to do with that I live in a house painted green .. surounded by trees.., the one in my pic is quite chunky.. almost clumbersome.. however it weighs like an insect ( a tichy tiny one at that),nibs nothing much to write home about.. twotone bling it maybe but very little flex, on the dry side of dry and a tad scratchy

I have a few Arnolds. They're a third or fourth tier brand, and they are what they are.

One of these days I'm going see about having an Arnold pen/pencil combo repaired (I didn't pay a lot for it, and got the shipping charges refunded by the seller when I discovered that the black around the lever was some sort of sludge that made the lever unworkable). I'm going to -- at some point -- try repairing an Arnold mini-pen myself (again, I didn't pay a lot for it, and I thought it was cute). The third pen is working, but feels cheap, and I definitely overpaid for it (and it doesn't even have an Arnold nib on it ); the scary part is the seller had another, *identical* pen -- down to the nib -- which he listed as soon as I paid for mine, and someone paid WAY more than I did.

They look kinda cool. Like an older version of Wearever.
