Just in case anyone is searching for a good online source for pens - I just had a great transaction with an Amazon vendor who is in Malaysia. The vendor name is redfingerprint. They carry some some sweet Dunhill pens, as well as Caran d'ache - which is what I picked up.
I was hesitant to order from Malaysia... but I ordered on Thursday and the pen showed up a few days later (Tuesday) delivered FedEx from Malaysia. Shipping was only $8 (to New York City) and the expedited shipping was a surprise.
The pen is great...

Damn. Just got a custom's invoice from Fedex for my pen. $1.90 customs fee plus $5.50 fedex "fronting fee". So add that into your costs.
