I just found a fountain pen that looks good and costs a whopping $2.59! It is sold on Amazon.com and most of the customer comments there are enthusiastic. And there is another difference: it is made in the USA by the blind.
It is a Skilcraft product. model SKILCRAFT - 7520-01-451-2278 - Executive Fountain Pen
It looks good, according to the customers it is a great writer and you will be helping the blind. WIN-WIN-WIN
I just placed an order for a few pens. I will post a review after I get to use them.
