Don't really know why, I'm just happiest with the squarer ones ('48/'49 - I have one of each), and thought the person I gave it to would like it a lot more.Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877281529217716593.post-368224235988928792013-06-09T00:19:06.295-07:002013-06-09T00:19:06.295-07:00I gave my sister a Royal Arrow in the previous sty...I gave my sister a Royal Arrow in the previous style, http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uO8eGbzgoIU/TZ4LYicsEwI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/XZJ5YG1_NPE/s1600/Royal+Arrow.JPG and I really did like it.

I think the more you type on it, the more you'll come to love at least this particular model of Royals.
