The review above me I can not understand completely.
The exterior is made entirely of metal and therefore does not only look really great, but feels moreover also very good in the hand.
Only the thread inside is made of extremely sturdy, thick plastic, which means that the pen would not overly difficult and therefore unsuitable for everyday use. The previous version was made of solid metal and significantly overweight.
The mine is soft and it is very comfortable to write with it.
There is of course no spots, leakage, dropouts when writing or the like, which you can also expect from Parker, however.
The only drawback is that the needle of the pen relatively quickly the matte surface including rub and thus bare, brass-colored metal is visible - a proof that there can be no means to plastic as the reviewer claims about me. May have been purchased through a Marketplace vendor; I have the pen directly ordered through Amazon.
One star deduction for being too quick wear during normal use (if it were not brass-colored, it would not bother me, but so unfortunately), otherwise:
Strong buy recommendation!
