Love my Metropolitans as always. I have received everything I ordered except the second Metropolitan. I assume it is backordered.

The Metropolitan fountain pen is a quality product. It writes very smoothly and the ink flow is very consistent. I would recommend this pen to any prospective buyers.

A above average fountain pen. Occasionally, the pen skips while writing. Nevertheless, I am happy with the product.

Have not used a fountain pen an about 10 years. Selected the MR based on Pen Addict reviews. Good choice for a first pen. I was worried about how fine the line might be but it is excellent. Excellent quality pen without spending a fortune.

Right out of the gate the Metropolitan reminds me of the Pilot Knight over the years I have lost most of them. I keep 2 in my collection in the original packaging. The filling system is remarkably simple and bullet proof and identical to the Knight, one Metropolitan is in my tool box at work (Tool and Die maker) one on my desk near the computer and 2 assigned to my collection of 250 or so fountain pens from 1955 and up. For some reason I do not understand (yet) the ink flow is improved in the Metropolitan.
An interesting aside I dropped one on the floor capped, and it landed on the cap end the kinetic energy pulled the nib out easily reassembled and no harm done. that incident prompted me to experiment with the reassembly looking to alter the ink flow have been too busy repairing tooling to spend the time to really look at this.

This is my 4th Metropolitan and my second with a fine nib. I intend to swap out the nib with an EF nib from a Pilot Penmanship or a a Kakuno. Or maybe a Plumix nib. For now I'm using it as is. I love the dark purple color and the leopard print design.

The Metropolitan is an inexpensive pen that writes extremely well. The pen feels nicely balanced in my hand, with or without the cap. I bought the red retrop op because the color, simply stated, is fun.

A standard in the hobby, and for good reason. The Metropolitan is a workhorse of a pen, always ready. It is a metal body and cap, so if you don't like heavier pens this one might not be for you. Personally, I love it!

I got an italic nib. I like the pen (Red Retro pop), but I'm a bit surprised. Perhaps I read too much into the hype or maybe I'm not quite used to the italic nib, but the pen does not write a well as I thought. It did write without any problem as soon as I inserted the cartridge. I normally it clean it first, but for some reason I didn't. It a good pen and I would be a Metropolitan again, but I was expecting to be amazed like I was with my safari and some other pens.
