These are exactly what I was looking for and I have been using them for 65 years. Shaeffer pens are the best economical fountain pens. I got my first one in 1959. It was a black body with a chrome cap. I recently found a pen that was sent to me which was the exact same pen with someone's business imprint on it. I have been using it for a month now and I am using a blue ink cartridge in it. I have a shaeffer pen which has a burgundy body and chrome cap that I have had since I was 10 which I have also been using to write with since 1960. I am so happy about being able to write with these pens, and I intend to do all my Christmas Cards with them.
