This is a great, low priced pen that writes very well. Although the nib is not very flexible and does not allow for making bolder lines it still writes great and starts working immediately. The weight is heavy and falls very nicely into the hand, and the pen writes great with or without the cap posted. I highly reccomend this pen (it's a Parker so it has to be good) and Jetpens to buy it from.

Good heft. Writes well, but has the tendency to dry in between cappings. I'll need to change inks for further testing.

I just recently dug out my 30 year old Parker 25 and much to my surprise, it worked wonderfully, even with ink dried up in the pen (I did soak it in water overnight). And then I stumbled onto the Parker IM and decided it was time for another Parker in my collection (and at that price, you can't really go wrong).

And I am pleasantly surprised by the heft and quality of this low-cost Parker pen. Writes very smooth, looks very elegant and appears to be a high quality product. I am pleased to recommend to anyone looking for a classy pen without breaking the bank.

I just received this pen and in fairness to JetPens I received it within 7 days! (I live in New Zealand so everything takes a long time to get to us.)

I'm not really used to very inky sort of pens since my writing is tiny, yet I was pleasantly surprised by how good this pen is. (My everyday go-to fountain pen is the Pilot Penmanship with extra fine nib.) It is more inky than the Japanese extra fines but only as much as one would expect from a medium nib. And it writes smoothly. Like real smooth. Not scratchy, even on thin paper. I'm so totally digging this one. :D It is also a wee bit on the heavy side, but not so heavy your hands get fatigued and all but just right wherein you have control. I do wish JetPens would have the fine version of this one? Other than that great pen and rather cheap too!

Cheers!

This is an excellent pen! It has a solid brass body, which makes it heftier, but also makes it write better in my opinion. Definitely a better deal than the Vector. It has a very nice nib, and even though it is a medium it isn't that wet and sloppy. I highly reccomend this pen to people who want a dependable every-day pen
