Parker Vector XL Fountain Pen | Metallic Lilac Lacquer on Brass | Medium Nib with Blue Ink Refill | Gift Box

Perfectly adequate for a standard fountain pen - nice writer.

Love these pens. Had 3 in past. Broke one barrel by over tightening, otherwise imagine they will just last & last. Very light weight, feel well balanced when writing. Nice sized nib, not too fine or broad,& looks much more impressive than biro script.Great price for a Parker pen, this one was on special offer. Nice bright colours to choose from. Arrived quickly.

For the price this is a decent pen. A little light to be ideal but its flow is good as is the nib, all of which makes for a fine, mobile pen for general purposes.

What can I say about this Parker?For starters, it writes brilliantly (medium nib).Secondly, it's quite a robust little thing, unless you step on it.Above all: it's a proper fountain pen, that does the job as well as anything above £500.You DO NOT have to spend silly money on a good fountain pen. That is total and utter poppycock.All these articles about "What is a good beginner fountain pen?"... total rubbish... there is no such thing as a beginner fountain pen.(Calligraphy pens are a different matter. But they're for art... not everyday writing.)Don't get me wrong, there are good and bad pens. But the Parker is GOOD.I have written thousands of pages with one of these pens and it has NEVER let me down.I have also written with expensive pens (can't reveal which, as this review is not about them) and they were absolutely no better.Some advice: if you don't want to spend the extortionate prices Parker charge for refills, do what I've been doing for about 20 years - refill your used cartridge from an ink bottle with a medical syringe. Easy and cheap.

Perfect, I’ve bought a couple now. As a left-hander, it’s always difficult to find a good fountain pen but this one is perfect. Lovely and smooth, and good value for money.

Really nice fountain pen with blue ink. Feels like a good weight and comfortable to write with and writes really nice. Reasonable price.

The pen is excellent

Disappointed with this Parker pen. It is advertised as a fine end, but it is more medium. The positive one it is easy to hold and write with the pen.
