@@user-zy8nw2lc9rперьевая ручка с изогнутым пером. Честно говоря, я не смог вспомнить советских ручек именно с таким сильным изгибом пера. С небольшим изгибом - да, бывали. Я перебрал сейчас варианты винтажных ручек, доступных в продаже, и не встретил ни одной с настолько сильно изогнутым пером. В основном ученики писали обычными перьевыми ручками (вначале с открытым, потом с закрытым пером и автоматические). В наших магазинах действительно легко купить перья для ручек и сами ручки, но в основном это китайские, японские и западные бренды. А народ массово предпочитает использовать замечательные шариковые ручки Pilot толщиной 0.5 и 0.7 мм - начиная с дошкольного возраста и заканчивая обучением в университете. Они дешёвые, удобные, практичные - чернил хватает очень надолго. Не высыхают и написанный текст не размазывается легко. Я уделял этому вопросу немало времени, выбирая ручку ребёнку, но в итоге всё равно вернулся к верным шариковым ручкам.
