Great choice!Hi,
I have just brought a Lamy Al star Bronze Fine Nib Fountain pen 027.
I hope it's a good starter pen without breaking the bank as I have not used a Fountain pen in years and that was terrible.
I really want to get my handwriting tidied up and get back into good old fashion letter writing.
Have I made a good choice or just wasted my money?

The sensible price of the Al-Star is very helpful if the original nib choice isn't quite right, and of course, it's always handy to have a spare pen "just in case". I expect you've already researched this, but the replacement, "swap-in" Lamy Z50 nib for the Al-Star and others is available in a range of widths and types, in black for about £7.20 or polished steel, for about £5.40, and a replacement nib and section for the Al-Star is about £10.50. It's also possible to upgrade the nib to a Z55 gold one for about £80, although that slightly runs against the concept of it being an economical pen.Just a quick update, when I said starter pen I meant a pen that was high quality great reputation and didn't break the bank.
The pen I chose uses the same nib as it's £110 brothers but at a fraction of the price.
Just as we really because I didn't like the fine nib and ended up buying another pen but with the extra fine.
I love it and I really like the finger placement points as I try and tidy up my terrible handwriting.
Thank you all again for your input.
Thanks for the laughI can't help but think that a ne'er-do-well or buzzardly crim would not know what a Mont Blanc was if it were shoved up his nose, but I can well imagine the solicitor might not want to take that chance! It's called putting yourself in harm's way.
Then again he probably parked his Porsche outside and has a luxury watch on.
On the infinitesimal chance that I change career to the legal profession I shall wear my Timex, get the bus to work and use a biro I stole from Argos or Metro bank! ;-D
