I was looking at the Renaissance but the Ebony is cheaper and round point too. And looks better lol. Really I'm after vintage though. I know about Friodurs, and will probably end up with one, I just wanted to know if there are other options. I know DD had one, but its rare. Same can be said of Hess 44's. The only other readily available one I know is the weltmeister, but that is pretty plain for the same price as many Friodurs.
