Lovely tool when reading documents.

What is your opinion of the quality of this item? As good as any Pelikan, and that means as good as any pen made today. Its the classic modern M200, a tested reliable pen. Simple to use. High value for the money. You get more than you pay for with the Pelikan piston fill pens. Almost perfect. I think they would have done better to give you a wide italic nib, which would have made a better highlighter, but then the BB nib means if you don't want to use it as a highlighter, you can put regular ink in and use it a 'yellow demonstrator' fountain pen.
