I have an earlier version of the fountain pen with the stylus and it's very solid and well made. I've bought a number of Levenger pens over the years and I think they do a very nice job. Perhaps they are under-appreciated because they contract rather than manufacture their pens. I have one that was clearly made by Stipula. These are Rotrings. I don't know who makes their True Writers but those were clearly designed as a tribute to the old Easterbrook J pens and I think they've done it well, down to the interchangeable nibs. Clearly Levenger cares about their product.
