A very elegant and well balanced pen from the long-standing reliable and acclaimed 88 series, it feels comfortable in the hand. This pen is in mint condition, but without box and papers, and would be an excellent every day user. The pen takes Parker-compatible refills, which are commonly available. Length is 13.6cm, width at widest point on cap (excluding the clip) is 1.2cm, and weight is 22g. Thank you for your cooperation in making my service efficient and relatively free of risk. While we will make every endeavour to dispatch this item in a timely fashion, delays with couriers/postal agencies, as well as import authorities eg. An important note regarding the nib and writing performance of this fountain pen. A fountain pen nib can be a joy to write with, provided it has been tuned properly. Unfortunately factory settings are not optimal for some fountain pens that are new “out of the box”, and occasionally tuning is required. It may need some tuning. Then I will wash the nib unit and dry it. In this way I can be sure the pen will write correctly…….. BUT sometimes there some residual water/ink will find its way down the feeder during courier air travel.
