HI Altec,
I'd be interested to see more on/ about the the Chameleon, looks to have some quality about it but I'm not familiar with the brand.

Regards

It was nice to hang with Altec at the show :)

We've had couple threads on Chameleon, though with limited information but with couple images of nice pens. The Jade is my monster Chameleon, the only one I own or have owned.

1) Chameleon thread 1


2. Chameleon thread 2

Thanks for the links David.


One of the question I have is whether there should be a second cap or a blind cap. Todd (aka Farmboy) and I were examining the pen in the bar and he thinks there should be a second cap. The picture of the jade pen in the first thread has two caps. However, the pics in the secon thread are smiliar to my pen and only have the one cap.


Hmmmmm....
