I thought I'd post a picture of my favorite fountain pen, the Sheaffer Prelude Rainbow fountain pen. I had to scour the Internets to find it, but its SO worth it!! The M nib writes like a dream, super smooth no matter the ink.

I had never seen that version before. I already like the Preludes. I would actually use that pen.

Very Nice. Not a really big Sheaffer fan to be honest although I am very happy with my recently acquired 300.

Wow. That's one eye catching pen. Is the finish prone to scratching?

I don't have any scratches on mine yet, but keep it in a case almost always. I'm super-paranoid ever since I read that online! I can say shows fingerprints like crazy though. :)

I'm glad I'm not the only person who loves colorful pens. The more I look at it the more I want one. Man, this hobby is a bottomless pit of no return.

After much searching I found mine online at Penbox.co.UK (http://www.penbox.co.uk/so.rainbow.prelude.htm) - sadly, it looks like its sold out now though.

There are still pens available on Ebay, but usually from foreign sellers. I found this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHEAFFER-AGIO-9094-RAINBOW-WITH-CHROME-PLATED-TRIM-FOUNTAIN-PEN-SUPERB-BEAUTIFUL-/360894109807?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5406f7186f), that looks like a fountain pen and comes in M or F nibs, but is called a roller ball, and is a Rainbow Sheaffer Agio instead of a prelude? Which I know nothing about. Oh ebay, always such a gamble!

Not my cup of tea, but I just saw one of these pop up on eBay and remembered this thread, so here it is (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sheaffer-Prelude-Rainbow-/151301587063?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item233a470077).
