ParkerDuofold Centennial Fountain Pen, Prestige Blue Chevron, Medium Solid Gold Nib, Black Ink and Convertor (1931370)

Let me start by saying this is a great fine point pen. The listing though is a bit confusing. To clarify; you get one pen, with one ink cartridge. You put the included ink cartridge in the pen and you have one working pen. There is no second refill, and it is not just a refill either. It’s one complete working pen and a box.Why so pricey? 2 reasons: 1) It’s a Parker, that’s like asking why Prada purses are so expensive. 2) The pen is fantastic quality. The trim is not just yellow colored foil, it is gold; and the pen is quality. The point lets you write even if the pen is held at a 25 degree angle, as in almost lying flat. I also used it upside down and wrote till I got bored, with the point straight up in the air, and the ink did not stop flowing.If it’s in your budget, and you want a very nice pen, this is the pen for you. You’re not just paying for a name. You’re buying a hand assembled gold trimmed, precision writing instrument.

I got the Blue Chevron version of this pen and it is quite beautiful (needless to say, at this price point you buy the pen more for its looks than for its nib).First - the pen is big and heavy overall, but the cap is what makes the statement (it is BIG). Without it, the size of the pen is "normal", although still on the hefty side, which I like. A lot of metal went into making this pen, which I also prefer to just "resin" (i.e. plastic). The section is metal, but more of the "brushed" kind, which makes it comfortable to grip, unlike the polished type. This pen is a conversation starter - if you pull it out in any setting - people will instantly talk about it. Some people like this, others don't, but keep it in mind, if you plan on taking this pen outside your home office.The pen came with a gold-toned converter which was a really nice touch. No issues with the converter.I got the Fine nib and have no problems with it, wrote as expected right out the box, something rare these days. It's a big nib, which is not my preferred size, but I knew what I was buying. Combined with the weight of the pen, it requires absolutely no pressure to write, all you have to do is just glide the pen, especially if you are writing on Clairefontaine. And it looks amazing.Overall, I have no regrets buying this pen.

First off, this pen is immaculate in every way. The special care and handcrafting that went into making this pen is outstanding. The chevron body with solid gold nib put it over the top. Definitely a fan of Parker and the duo-fold line!. Remember when it comes to pens or any material item,you get what you pay for.

I’ve owned three MontBlanc pens and I feel this to be far superior. Beautiful, weighted , well balanced and smooth ink flow. Wonderful materials in its construction. Twice the pen for half the price. Buy it. You won’t be disappointed!

Parker is known for its quality and this Duofold continues that legacy. It writes incredibly smooth, just like my other Duofold, both new and vintage.

Me parece demasiado caro es una pluma común y corriente parece una pluma de baja gama

Look, there's only one reason to own this pen. And it's not cause it's the best writer, and Lord knows it doesn't have the best ink capacity either.This, is a signing pen. A flex pen. I don't mean the nib bends- because Lord knows it's the stiffest 18k nib you'll ever use.This is the pen you use when you want to flex on someone's else. When you're signing a contract or a bill or a book deal or termination papers.What are you going to sign with? That flimsy ballpoint pen the receptionist hands you? The balls-less ball point done up to look like a daisy? Or are you going to sign that thing like a man?"No, no, no." You hold out a hand and cooly wave off that emasculated excuse for a pen. You get looks off confusion at first. And then you reach for your breast pocket and whip out this weapon of mass destruction.It's big and it's gold and it looks exactly how an expensive pen should look. Even people who don't know the slightest thing about pens look at this pen and go, "DAMN."That is this pen's sole function and it performs it's function "DAMN" well.Thank you for listening to my review.

This Parker is a lovely addition to my collection. This fountain pen is heavier than many models, yet I prefer this in my writing. I discovered this model on another site and searched for purchase options. The price offered on Amazon was considerably less than others. This fountain pen has a smooth writing nib and looks beautiful in hand. Add it to your collection and give this seller a try.
