I am fortunate to have acquired several very nice ones from my Grandfather, as I share his name and he had the good grace to have his name inscribed on several of his pens. So when my Father, Aunts, Cousins, etc. had picked over things, there were these great pens and a lifetime supply of stationery with (our) name on it that nobody claimed. There are Schaeffers, Parkers, lever and pushbutton loaders, bottles of scrip in several colors, etc. Several gold nibs, couple acetate and casein bodies, cool stuff. I also got his roll top desk, which nobody wanted, and it broke my heart to have to leave it at my ex's because I dont physically have room in our family's new 2BR apt, but my ex graciously agreed to keep it until I come claim it.
For modern pens, I like the Colibris and Watermans (the pre-1990 ones) because they have a good "snap", my EDC pen is a cheap MB.
