Parker Jotter Originals Ballpoint Pen Collection, Assorted

I like many reviewers used to use parker pens at school (15 years ago) and I always felt posh having them whilst everyone else had cheap plastic ones. When I saw this set of 4 for 13.47 I couldn’t resist buying some. Many people say they have shrunk since they were at school and that may be the case but I found an old Jotter pen I had 15 years ago and placed them side by side with the new ones and they are exactly the same thickness and length. I weighed both pens and they are both 11g so claims they are using cheaper materials are not true. the bottom part of the pen has always been plastic in the 20 years I’ve used them but they did and still do produce full metal versions. the only difference I could see was the arrow design has changed on the cap and there is not a parker P engraved on the top of the clicker. Maybe they just seem smaller and lighter to people now they are older but I can confirm they are the same length and thickness as a jotter pen from 15 years ago and they weigh exactly the same. I love the range of colours. Its a shame they don’t sell the other 4 of the 8 colours in a second set of 4 as they are much cheaper than buying individually and they come in a nice presentation box too. Id quite like a full set of all 8 colours as I only ever used to have a blue one so the novelty of a bright orange one appeals to me
