My daily pens are Lamay safari, Waterman and a Churchill and I have several others including some Chinese which are great value for money.
The 316 is a real looker at a great price

It's never too late PC, if you are showing youngster's how to form letters you can practise yourself. Fortunately I had a teacher who was a stickler for correct and properly formed hand writing, couldn't stand her but I'm pleased she did.
I don't think I've ever seen decent handwriting from an under thirty year old, it's a shame because it is a pleasure and a dying art. It wouldn't take long and would last a lifetime.
I have to bribe the eldest to do these but she'll appreciate when she's older.

I don't know if that's a particularly good pen or a good deal, maybe the penpert's can chip in.
