Hi all,

I'm hoping this is the right forum to post this!!

I got this pen as a freebie from a friend and love it. It feels lovely in the hand, is about an inch shorter than most other pens so easy to carry around and it's ink flow is strong and smooth. It's really good to write with but I haven't a clue where to source replacements for myself and before anyone suggests it I can't go begging for more from Friends First, I'm looking for the blank/unbranded version of the pen.

Ask the Friends First marketing department where they sourced them.
There are a number of companies do that sort of promotional stuff.

Thanks Spurious, if no one here has any idea I might be desperate enough to contact them but the pen is a few years old and I doubt digging into their historical purchase orders to answer a query from me, especially as I'm not even a customer, will ever get onto the Friends First marketing departments to do list!

Perhaps take it to a stationary shop? They might be able to find a model/serial number on it.

The design of the barrel and the quality of the writing makes me think of a Mitsubishi Uniball Eye?

Thanks Aenaes, that's a very good idea. Can't believe I didn't think of it myself. There's a graphics supply shop near me with a good selection of pens which I'll try during the week.

Similar all right but not the same, I'm familiar with the Uniball, good pen.

I'm using a Leinster Rugby one as we speak, I'll ask my sister where they got them.

Deadly, thanks Dial Hard. I can find lot's of uniball type pens but not that short model.
