Overall As with 95% of all other Sheaffer pens, this pen does not disappoint! Wonderful writing instrument for little dollars - what more could you want? Most pens I use are in the "traditional design" and this pen is a traditional pen - I love them. Easy to write with - easy to hold and it looks so coooool! This is a wonderful pen for the value and dollars invested! A "white dot" pen for $25.00 or less! How can you go wrong? What is your opinion of the quality of this item? 5 Stars all the way!
