The pen is nice to use and feels good in the hand although it is a little too light and somewhat more plastic feeling than I would have liked.
The main issue though is the colour, which is much darker in reality than it appears in the advert. Despite what it looks like in my photo it is certainly not black, but it is nowhere near the purple it appears to be in the advert.
This pen is every bit as beautiful and functional as it appeared in the advertising. I received it within two days of ordering and am delighted with it. When working, I normally used a Parker 51 fountain pen with stainless cap which I had received as a Christmas gift in about 1960 and still occasionally use it. My new pen is a very welcome addition to my collection.
