After seeing photos of the new mint turquoise Kaweco Sport, I knew I had to have one. I loved the color. But they weren't available from my usual sources. Fontoplumo (http://fontoplumo.nl/shop/en/) turned out to have the mint color with the nib size I wanted in stock, with the silver clip, for the best price.


Look at that lovely shade of blue-green! How could I resist?

I placed my order and received a near-immediate shipping notification along with a personal follow-up e-mail the next day. The pen arrived from the Netherlands to my mailbox in the United States five days later. Shipping was cheap and quick.

I had never dealt with Fontoplumo before, and I rarely hear them mentioned, so I thought I'd share my positive experience. I was especially impressed by the personal e-mail I received after I placed my order--a nice touch.

I bought my blue stonewash Kaweco Al-Sport from them. I pre-ordered it before release and it arrived at Fontoplumo when Frank was away on business. He arranged for his wife to post it to me in his absence and I received it promptly. The communications from Frank are excellent, as highlighted by the OP.

Wow! That is really great! Thanks for posting, I'll be buying from them in the future. Even the website is awesome.
