HANDMADE, AMBOYNA BURL, Jr. GENTLEMEN’S FOUNTAIN PEN
"If someone needs to buy a present for those who appreciates pens, these are wonderful and really affordable. The producer makes everything by hand and chooses only beautiful rich (and usually exotic) woods so that the final product is really one of a kind. I bought a "Gentlemen’s Rollerball" in amboyna burl wood and love it, although it is very large. I would suggest for folks with smaller hands the jr version, which also happens to be cheaper. Great stuff. He’ll also make up anything on special order."

The difference between the two kinds of pens is on the website you suggest, the maker’s prices are $450 for a rollerball. On the one listed at Moleskine, they’re less than $50.
“jimthepenman” does ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL work!! I cannot say enough about these AWESOME pens, and all made by hand!(which I still can’t believe!) I have purchased many for gifts as well as for myself, and just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!! Highly recommend!!
