Greetings All- I am requesting some suggestions for my first fountain pen. I had used a Pelikano junior when younger but am looking for a nicer fountain pen. I have a few requirements that should narrow your suggestions.

1. Under $100 (I am left handed and am afraid using a fountain pen will be a disaster since I drag my hand across the page and thus the words I have just written)
I use a Mont Blanc pen (JS Bach edition) now but realize Mont Blanc fountains may well be $100+

2. Something conservative and durable

3. Something with the option of a cartridge refill so at this point, I do not need to buy wells of ink and go through that situation of refilling it; I remember helping my dad with this task when I was a child.

4.What type of nib? I have seen preferences between F and M.

Thanks for your help. -Matt
