It looks and feels like a really expensive pen. The fountain pen writes beautifully and you have the option of using bottled ink or a cartridge. I have the set in my suit pocket for meetings and signing important documents. They look and feel like they should cost a lot more money and a lot of people have asked where I got them. They would make a great birthday or Christmas gift as they come inside a wonderful presentation box.

For the price, it is really very good value, however, it's not the best of fountain pens. This is being hyper critical when considering my first comment, the price! The first issue was the finish. In the 'sales' photo, it was a beautiful rich deep blue marbling, however, in real life as per my photo, it was somewhat more washed out, and certainly not the colour I was expecting. Also, it doesn't 'post' well, in that the top doesn't fit well onto the barrel when writing. Normally you get a nice click indicating it is properly located, this pen doesn't do that and the lid just perches on the barrel and if you leave it down, it just falls off. Lastly, it has the annoying habit of drying up. If you don't use it for a day or so, you spend an age getting the ink to flow properly again. Now this is a biggie for me as several times I have used it when out, and spent an embarrassing few minutes shaking the darn thing trying to get the ink to flow, which it eventually does, but detracts from the pleasure of using a 'wet fountain' pen to write with. However, I keep coming back to the price, it feels nice and heavy, and solidly made. The other reviews rave about this pen, it's quite possible I just got a not so great example!Read full review

The pen suits me , I like the way it writes on the papers I use with little variation in the quality of smoothness and ink flow. The appearance of the pen belays it's price being more striking than many a more expensive pen. I think some purchasers may find it large and heavy for extended use but it has a positive feel which I like.

I am delighted by my pen , it is reassuringly solid and looks and feels like a much more expensive pen It writes beautifully even though I am left handed. It has a bladder which means I can use my fancy inks and avoid the expense of cartridges In a futile attempt to find fault I can only say that the pen has not improved my scraggie handwriting!? X
