The color does not match the photo, it is stated that it is gray of course but in the photo the pen barrel appears to have a more brownish hue.

I have several Parker pens. With this particular one, after minimal use, the plastic part on the cap broke off (became detached).

Quality pen, I am very satisfied with both the quality of the construction materials and the ink writing

I have a Jotter from the 90s, the build quality is just incomparable, anyone who has held Parker pens and fountain pens from previous years understands what I mean.

An incredibly high quality classic pen with amazing feel, materials, and design. Unfortunately I’m not a big fan of the built in ballpoint ink, but that can easily be replaced by anything you find fits your writing style best. Would definitely recommend.

This Parker is a regular classic size, I gifted it to a woman. For myself, I got the same one, but the XL, which is slightly larger than the classic other Parkers because I have large male hands! Its height is about 12cm. It is made of steel, with upper and lower stems. The internal screw-connector is made of plastic but is strong! If someone broke it, they probably had it in their "back pocket" and sat on it, then yes, the pen can break in two. It is more beautiful than I expected. BALLPOINT pens with oil ink require more pressure to write but do not smudge like Roller and GEL pens do. Their ink is blue, medium thickness 1mm. For a refill, look for ballpoint quinkflow, available in blue and black, and medium 1mm or fine 0.7mm. The factory gift packaging will amaze you; it is incredibly elegant!!! The pen on top says FRANCE.
