Monteverde Prima Piston Fountain Pen - Grey Marble (Special Edition)

NOT BAD - this is the best I can say about this pen

The best I can say about this pen is NOT BAD --. I cannot say this pen is Unexpectedly GOOD, but I can say this pen is tolerable. I'll put it another way: It beats NOT having a fountain pen at all!

Beautiful pen. The nib is .05, not.03, which is usually EX Fine. I'll give that a pass due to the ink I'm using, Platinum Carbon Black. I love the ink, I love the pen despite the drying out problem. I'll keep it.

Great Pen With a Color Shifting Twist

This special editon Prima is a classy pen with a twist. Much like the viral dress from a number of years ago (appeared white/gold or blue/black depending on the viewer) it appears either grey or a coke-bottle green. At least among the small sample do people I have asked. The color shifting aside this is a great writer and balanced. The piston filler mechanism is smooth and works welll, though it doesn't hold a dramatically large amount of ink.
