  • Quality in looks, ease and feel in writing and being part of history in this writing instrument.
Style: Fountain Pen Color: Plum
This is a pen that encompasses all the qualities that people who appreciate the finer things in life must own. It is a delight to use but not to share-the sure way to let it walk off, The color as some have said it looks more black than plum. Not so, I see this as a real plum of a writing instrument. I call it my plum of a pen. Oh well its about attitude. In fact, I have picked up three vintage pens. I'm collector of many things and I'm proud to show off the pens as the collection grows including the plum. ... show more

  • Well Made, Best Grip of Parker Ballpoint Pens
Style: Ballpoint Pen Color: Black
I own 2 of the Parker 51 series and they are both great - the gold cap and the gold accented silver cap, both with black barrels. They have the largest / thickest barrels of any of the various Parker pens (Jotters, etc..), which is exactly what I want. This provides the best grip. Well made pens and worth it to "Treat yo' self!" ... show more

  • Handles well, smooth and such a joy to write with.
Style: Fountain Pen Color: Plum
After reading some negative comments, it made me a bit wary but I took the plunge having had a Parker 21 in my teens, I thought this is an upgrade. I’m so glad I bought it! It did not disappoint. It’s gorgeous, perfect! The nib is very smooth and the weight while writing is fantastic! It’s all I can ever ask for. Now I just have to maintain it well. Pricey but worth it! ... show more

  • Plum color darker than Amazon picture
Style: Ballpoint Pen Color: Plum
Upon opening the box, at first glance I thought Amazon had sent me a black pen. The plum color is very dark, not the vibrant fruit color in Amazon's picture; it's more of a blackish shade with plum/brown/burgundy undertones, depending on the quality of your lighting and eyesight. Otherwise it's a nice pen, although weighted toward the top (as another reviewer pointed out in a review of the blue/silver version); the Parker Sonnet ballpoint I have is better balanced. Uses twist action and comes filled with a black medium Parker Quinkflow refill. ... show more

  • most expensive and least impressive fountain pen I have purchased. most expensive and least impressive fountain pen I have purchased.
Style: Fountain Pen Color: Plum
I must say for the price of this pen it was such a letdoown. I also have a Parker sonnet and a waterman careen model that not only cost less but have much higher value and build quality. The Plum barrel are literally just plastic. I see his pen being OVERPRICED almost to the point of sucmmy. the barrel of this pen is nothing more then thin cheap plastic. I actually had fallen in love with the look of htis pen from the amazon photos but in person I almost wonder if I have a contierfit version. I have returned this item and will purchasing another Brand or model of fountain pen. ... show more

Style: Fountain Pen Color: Plum
This is a beautiful pen that writes smoothly and easily if held correctly. (A slight off center to the right , just as we learned years ago (50) in penmanship class. ) It included 2 refills and 1 converter. My husband has a Mont Blanc and likes this better. I am very pleased with my purchase. The color is a sophisticated plum which shows clearly when held against black or grey. I agree the ad vet seemed lighter, but I think it is lovely. ... show more

  • classy way of protecting against fraud/forgery
Style: Fountain Pen Color: Black
Excellent writing tool. Suggested by I.T. gurus as ink sets into paper making forgery difficult. However, gotta remember to clean the nibs at least every other day, otherwise ink congeals and plugs the channel. Cleaning is simply running some cold water over the nib for a few seconds, if you've not used it for a few days, just let the nib soak in an inch of water in a plastic cup, when the water turns the color of the ink, channel is open again. ... show more
