What is your opinion of the quality of this item? My husband had a blue one engraved with my name and gave it to me. I love writing with it. It fits my hand and isn't too heavy. I liked it so much I bought one for a friend for a special gift, again with engraving. I always use a Parker gel refill with it. Yes! It's a very comfortable pen for my arthritic thumb, and I try to have it close at hand whenever I want to write. Great value, great instrument!
