ok... so, if the last one wasn't your thing, how about this?

MONDIAL BCHR WITH BOHEMIAN GLASS NIB

This unusual pen is from Austria. The maker is Mondial, which was an Italian company. These
pens do not often pop up in the US, but in Europe they are not uncommon. The pen is fitted
with an original Bohemian glass nib of very high quality.
