The design of the fountain pen is indeed - to put it mildly - timeless (cynics would say "boring"), but included in the set are three tabs with different spring strengths, the cap for closing the composite filler and even ink cartridges - more is not possible to start and all for under 5 euros - is not to beat that! Just the fact that you can also order or write earned the 5th star, but the spring glides in addition also very nice on the paper and the type face is as it should be. Strong buy recommendation!
