Review Title: British steel with European parts

Let’s start with the positive: The pen is well made with high precision. The nib is very well tuned, smooth and the feed is reliable. I am pretty sure it’s a Jowo nib although it’s not mentioned, so you know what to expect. The acrylic resin has a nice chatoyance and it has a unique design which translates also to the shape of the clip.
The pen is rather small, uncapped only a few millimetres longer than a Pelikan M200, so this would be a candidate for posting. But the cap doesn’t post very deep, just about 15 mm. This makes it in contrast to long and unbalanced.
The elephant in the room is the price: €220 for a rather small cartridge/converter acrylic pen with a steel nib. In this price range you are competing with a large number of alternatives. If a clip made of “British steel” combined with “European resin” and a German nib makes it worth the purchase is up to you.
Don’t get me wrong: As I said I think it’s a very well made and reliable pen, everything else is subjective.
