I bought this pen from Pelikan about 8 years ago in 4 different colors, because I was absolutely thrilled at that time. 2 are still left by then and this is now seen very unsightly. That's why I was happy when I found the pen here on Amazon. Unfortunately, Pelikan has the design of the pen changed something, the rubber grip is much thicker and is no longer good in the hand. In the picture the dealer not you see that, I think, here the pen with the old design are displayed. The mine also wrote full difficult! Very bad!
