Probably in my twenties (over 40 years ago), though I can't be sure, and no longer have the pen. I'm sure it was an inexpensive pen or I would have kept it.
About 15 years ago (guess) I bought a Zebra cartridge fountain pen, installed the cartridge and threw it in a drawer until just a few weeks ago. Took it out and scratched out some notes. Surprisingly, it still writes.
Recently, I have jumped back in, and purchased several entry-level pens, including Lamy, Pilot, and TWSBI.
