Overall I own at least 20 Retro 51 pens. They are all well made,very hefty and write very well. I enjoy each one I use. Love the Flag design. The pen clips are virtually indestructible. Fits very comfortably in the hand. Due to it's heft and thickness, it is easy to deploy with one hand. Well worth the price! What is your opinion of the quality of this item? Flag design, hefty, writes well, great price, terrific!!!
