I received the pen about a week ago. Despite the relatively high price my model had a few small, yet striking quality Mengel. The edge of the cap (screw side) had a few hiccups on the O-ring on the closure screw was jammed and is thus damaged. After a fall of the pin on the sphere of mine this is deffekt, however, is also a no-name product, at least no manufacturer is printed. I just ordered a new mine. In return, the pen is really very good in the hand, makes a very solid impression and it can be written well with. Here me is the "Hinterklemm thing" do not break like 97% of my coolies by too much gimmick. Despite the small flaws in the context of the relatively high price, I am so far quite pleased.
