Exceptional pen in every respect: length, width, weight, balance and refill quality. I think a previous reviewer who referred to this as a "nice little pen" was using a stock phrase rather than describing its dimensions. This is in fact a large pen about 5 3/4" in length, 1/2" in width at cap, 3/8" in width at grip area of barrel. It also has noticeable weight, but not IMO too heavy (as is, I believe, the Sheaffer 300 series & the Caran D'Ache Leman) -- its heft is directly proportional to its dimensions, which makes for exceptional balance. As a pen freak I have at some time owned most low, medium, and high end brands & models of ballpoint pen, including Waterman (Edson & Carene), Montblanc (Classique, LeGrand & sterling silver Solitaire), Cross, Parker (including Sonnet & Duofold), Aurora, Lamy, Caran d'Ache, Pelikan (Souveran 800, 600 & 400) & all models of Sheaffer. The Montegrappa Parola beats them all in regard to the qualities mentioned above. In addition, the Montegrappa ballpoint refill is the best Parker-style refill on the market today -- far superior to the current Chinese-manufactured Parker product which seriously deteriorated in quality since crossing the international date line some years ago. In sum, this may very well be the best ballpoint pen at any price on the market today. Read more

La penna è molto molto bella. Non è stato possibile personalizzare la penna sebbene nelle varie recensioni il servizio sembrava poter essere fatto ed io ho avuto conferma del contrario solo una volta effettuato l'acquisto. Avere la penna non incisa un po' mi è dispiaciuto. Read more
