Was looking for a fountain pen that I could use and then pass on for my son and after careful consideration and the quality of S.T. Dupont there was only one winner. Looked into Montblanc, Montegrappa, Parker but none of them really got close to the quality of this pen. Writes beautifully out of the box, the ink by them is also great. Could not be happier and would recommend this pen t o anyone who wants to have a luxury pen that will last generations.
Thank you
