Just received my pen today. Feels cheap compared to one I got from my father years ago, and from one I got on Ebay. This one Feels total different the metal is less in thickness and the screw on portion feels like it will strip its self in a matter of months. Not smooth and well machined like my old one or the Townsend I bought. I won't be buying one again will get them on EBay and make sure of where they are manufactured.  I am told that they will all say China or Japan,
