Iguana had the pen in stock and it arrived two days after ordering. If your choice is not in stock, always check the likely delivery date to avoid disappointment. For me, the experience was hassle-free and I would certainly buy from Iguana again. As for the pen....
I had an issue with the nib 'skipping' due to the tines converging quite severely towards the tip. I gently eased these apart, and everything was fine - EXTREMELY fine, in fact, because this pen delivers the finest nib width I have ever encountered; and yet, it remains such a smooth writer. Astonishing!
Also, the two flattened sections cut into the curved surface of the pen (which run its length, front and rear) are slightly misaligned when the cap is fully screwed down. Probably batch variation, with some examples being perfect and others a little less so.
And then there's the clip: serviceable but plain. The clip represents an opportunity to promote brand recognition (see Parker), so Scribo might have made a bit more of an effort.
All in all, a thumbs up and you should buy with confidence.
I love everything about my EF black matte Estie. I inked it up with the black ink cartridge that came with the pen. It feels good in my hand. This is my second Esterbrook in my collection. I encourage you to give this pen a try. It is beautiful.
This is a beautiful, highly anticipated pen and I was very pleasantly surprised to see it arrive so quickly when many other shops had sold out. Excellent packaging and service.
Die Sailor PG Smoothie Goldenberry ist wunderschön, ich mag die Farbkombination sehr. Die Feder weist eine angenehme Flexibilität auf (F). Der Tintenfluss ist relativ sparsam, ein Test mit der Tinte "Indian Red" von Graf von Faber Castell war nicht besonders erfolgreich (Aussetzer). Die Tinte "Cobalt Blue" vom gleichen Hersteller performt allerdings ganz gut. Im Vergleich zu einer Platinum 3776 (EF) ist die Sailor jedoch "kratziger", nach dem Einschreiben bzw. einer Politur der Feder sollte das Ergebnis besser ausfallen. IGUANA hat wie immer rasch geliefert, die Kaufabwicklung war sehr gut!
Sous réserve de la qualité générale dans le temps : très belle réussite esthétique et très malin le double bracelet 👍🤩
Der Capless von Pilot ist sehr praktisch im täglichen gebrauch. Die Feder ist immer sofort Schreiben bereit und gleitet flüssig und weich über das Papier. Jedoch ist die Handhaltung etwas verkrampft wegen des ungewöhnlich angebrachten Clips, das merkt man allerdings erst bei längeren Schreibeinheiten, deshalb nur 4 Sterne.
The speed of delivery from you to me is amazing. This is a classic style pen and is gorgeous!
The pen is fantastic!
The service from Iguana sell was flow less.
I'll be back.
Kamila ha dedicado un valioso tiempo para asesorarme en base a su destacada experiencia y sus conocimientos. Gracias a su paciencia y amabilidad la elección ha sido perfecta.
El punto M permite apreciar con precisión los matices de la tinta y escribir simultáneamente con caligrafía pequeña con nitidez y rigor. El peso es adecuado y el tacto confortable. La recarga con el convertidor incluido es ágil y limpia y la tinta incluida es de un negro intenso brillante . El plumín es muy jugoso, la tinta fluye generosamente. Es muy agradable escribir con ella. Los detalles son del cuerpo son muy elegantes.
Delighted with the price of my watch and the service from IguanaSell.
Will definitely use again for my next U Boat.
This pen is beautifully decorated with rich colors and delicate details. Its small size is a perfect match for my hand. The writing is smooth and practically effortless. The shipping was efficient and free. Iguana has served me well once again.
