Comment
Naturally you can buy this pen much cheaper, rather than the custom version shown here. The pen’s nib is in F size with very good flow of ink for sure. This is certainly everyday use pen, very popular worldwide with cartridge converter which we have chosen.
Ink used: Parker Quink Blue, France/UK
