Thanks @Penguincollector, Retro 51 has some really fun pen designs. There motto is "Life is to short to carry an ugly pen!"

I have discovered one flaw with the Retro 51 FPs. The threads inside the cap are plastic and some of them just don’t have a good feel to them when screwing the cap back on. That is not going to stop be from buying more cause otherwise they are wonderful and relatively inexpensive. I just will be careful not to over tighten them.

 

If you see a pen you like, wait till it goes on sale. I have rarely paid list price as eventually some dealer will have them on sale. So always search for the pen at different dealers. Of course unless it is an exclusive design with that dealer.

Thank you very much! Good to know. I will be careful with the caps when I put them back on.

My latest "blue" pen:  Montegrappa Parola. 

    The seller advertised it as Navy Blue, and it is the darkest "Blue" I've even seen.  More black than blue, just like the color of the ocean long after the sun has set.

    Medium steel nib, writes very nicely.  Good feel in the hand.

That’s a beautiful pen, @CSSD! The most midnight of blues.
