19.0 Where can I buy a fountain pen?

Fountain pens are sold in stores ranging from huge office supply warehouses to small family-owned businesses. Iím not going to list them all here, nor will I get in the business of recommending one company over another.

Many of these companies sell via the internet, or have a presence on the net with their store's phone number. Check out the section on links later in the FAQ.

The one thing you will find is a general lack of MontBlanc presence on the Internet. MontBlanc has an official "no promotion/sales on the Internet" policy. But, those same companies will quote you a price over the phone and allow you to purchase the pen via mailorder.

Here are some places where I have purchased fountain pens and have received superb service. Some other names here were submitted by other people who have also had good experiences. There are more, but these are some of the best:
