In a pen of the technical type for free-hand writing having a point, a collar in which said point is mounted, an ink passage extending to said point, a weight and wire assembly reciprocably disposed within said passage, and an ink reservoir disposed above said collar and extending upwardly therefrom in communication with said passage, wherein the improvement comprises:

• a bracket attached to said collar and having a normally vertical bracket face thereon and a normally horizontal bracket bore opening into said bracket face;
• a connection block having first and second perpendicular connection faces and having first and second perpendicular connection block bores opening into said first and second connection faces, respectively, said first connection face opposing said bracket face to permit sliding, rotational, relative movement;
• first adjustment screw means received by said bracket bore and said first connection block bore for holding said connection block in a fixed position relative to said bracket;
• an elongated handle having three concave finger grip surfaces and thereby adapted to be held in a selected orientation by the hand of a user, a handle face opposing said second connection face to permit sliding, rotational, relative movement between said handle and said connection block, and a handle bore opening into said handle face;
• and
• a second adjustment screw means received by said handle bore and said second connection block bore for holding said handle in a fixed position relative to said connection block, whereby said point can be maintained in a predetermind orientation with respect to a writing surface independently of the orientation of said handle and finger grips.
