This is a great looking pen and writes very smoothly. I have more than 10 fountain pens and I don't write terribly often. Often the pen I pick up has dried up ink if I haven't used it in a couple of months. Never happened with this one.

A gift for a friend, very cool look as far as I’m concerned. I’m hoping they work well for him, as he may not have used fountain pens since his childhood (50 + yr.s ago ??). I liked their look ??

If you are a Retro Pen fan then you know all about these pens. If you aren't a fan, they are a fun pen to collect with several options. Good writing pen, fun to collect.

The Roosevelt pen has a great tactile feel. The etching will provide a solid grip for writing.

This is a fun pen. The flint color gives it a serious look, and the etched treads provide a good grip. I like the versatility of using Parker style refills.

A great inexpensive pen. I love the look and the feel of this pen while writing. Metallic finish, but with a resin grip that is comfortable.
Nib writes a bit on the dry side, which I don't love. But I haven't used my wettest inks in it yet, so that may be a non-issue. And I'm ok with fixing it on my own if it is, so if you are, don't let that be a deterrent.
Only other con is that the cap's threads don't inspire a ton of confidence. Could've been machined better.
Overall I really enjoy this pen. Great weight and balance. Looks fantastic.

This is a SOLID pen body and the best Jowo5 body for indestructability in the price range. That being said, and this may just be a weird anomaly, but the jowo nib I got with this pen was not working well and I replaced it with another. Since then its one of the best most reliable pens I have, but be careful putting on the cap as its very coarse inside and may be what damaged the original nib for me.
