I finally got around to shooting photos of my group of Autopoint twist Stylus/BP pens. These Sheaffer Connaisseur look-alikes are actually lacquer-coated brass, and quite hefty. These come only as stylus models, but use Parker-style refills, so a quick swap gives you a Parker-fueled Sheaffer look-a-like. There has to be some irony in that!
I like them, and at $4 or 5 each with stylus tip, I don't try to pretend they are anything but very useful writing tools, with a decent look. Mine are black/gold lacquer, and Red Leather-look, and Black Leather-look. Not nearly as real-looking as my Legacy Heritage leather pen, but I don't care about that. They are USA-made, in Janesville, WI.
Mike,
Yes, you're correct. For the price, they make nice everyday pens if a heavier, presumably brass-body pen suits your style. I'll have to get myself another All-American pencil when I order from them next. I also like their Jotter-clone pens, and own 3 of those. I appreciate that they are an American company producing decent and affordable products I like using.
