I'm in Moscow at the moment (work not football!) and didn't bring any of my nice fountain pens. But I found this really cheap German school pen that cost about $2.50 each complete with 2 extra long international refills called the Hauser INX, Liquid Fountain Pen. I bought two of them as daily writers that I won't worry about losing or abusing.
And I must say that this is a pretty smooth, reliable writer that is on a finer side of a Western fine. It has a hooded nib that's rather rounded and therefore excellent for daily writing. No character, etc. but totally unfussy.
I guess they're not sold Stateside or at least nowhere that I've seen and they sell for a bit more on Ebay unless you buy ten at a time. But just something to watch out for those addicted to buying cheap pens anywhere they go.
Here's an ad from Ebay from an Indian seller. I suppose most of the price is due to shipping.
