Since I've been on a fitness/lose weight kick I decided to treat myself for getting past halfway on my weight loss target, coincidentally the lady of the house has ransomed my "go to" Parker 45 (which is a fairly beaten up example). Naturally this is a "temporary" state of affairs until I acquire her one of her own to her liking, I found myself (ahem) penless (well not exactly penless, but with a gap to fill ) so looking around I stumbled upon this wee thing.
Arrived this morning and it's even smaller than the numbers suggest - it's about the size of a slim panatella cigar. Works a treat too - although the biggest compromise involved is probably that the ink reservoir is smaller than I'd ideally have - on the plus side that means more opportunities to change ink
Writes well - feels good in the hand and the big test comes at the weekend when I shove it in my pocket like the Parker 45 usually is. If you want a small pen for whatever reason, this is definitely worthy of consideration...
Usual kudos to Cult Pens for their exemplary service - ordered yesterday afternoon and in my hand at 10am today.
Seen here with a Parker 45
And here opened so you can see the nib
