Attractive pen, made of a mix of beautiful blue acrylic with some ebonite pieces. The translucent resin provides a window into the ink reservoir, which, even against the light, can a bit hard to see with this dark blue.

It has a comfortable warmth in the hand. The section is smooth but not slippery. It's similar in length to a Lamy Safari but girthier. Not overly heavy, making it balanced for long writing sessions.

The eyedropper mechanism allows for a lot of ink, but I find it hard to know when and how much to open or close the shutdown valve. If you let the ink run out in the barrel, it will take some effort to get it to flow again.

I've tried the nib and feed that came with the pen briefly, and it was a pleasant, smooth nib, without any skips. However, I soon replaced it with a custom-made gold JoWo nib, modified to flex, which is my favorite nib, so maybe that makes me biased towards this pen.

Overall, a very good buy.
