    Default Greetings from Sweden

    Hi!

    I've just bumped into the world of fountain pens. Only own a Lamy AL-star Fine, plus a bunch of ink samples, so far. Planning to extend my collection in a not too far future.

    Fountain pens are very rare in Sweden. I only know of one more than me who is using one. Fountain pens are considered to be only for rich directors and other persons with too much money.
    If you ask someone in the street if the can name a fountain pen brand; they will most likely respond with Montblanc and maybe Parker.

    Looking forward to being a member here!

    Maybe a little to far away from home for a chat and coffee. I live in Linköping. Give me a ping if you travel. I have been contacted by another fellow from Uppsala. So then we are at least three.
