It arrived very quickly and well packaged. The first impression from the Parker box is positive, with a good quality cardboard and a good quality letter printer with a general sense of discreet luxury. Opening the box (a sliding matchbox type) we have the pen and a refill, the interior is lined with a velvety material, the only negative is that there is space for two pens, one occupied by the pen and the other by the refill, resulting in the refill giving you the feeling that it was placed there where there was space...
I did not try the pen as it is intended as a gift, its appearance and finish are average, the blue material of the body is slightly dull and the metallic as well.
