PARKERUrban Fountain Pen, Premium Silvered Powder with Medium Nib and Blue Ink Refill, 1931603

Writes smoothly & with a consistent flow.Really nice design with the machine turned outer case.

This is my second Parker Urban. The exact same model (same colour and nib) I had bought 5 years ago and used it as a daily pen on (almost exclusively) 120 gsm paper in a notebook I buy regularly. I use Parker Quink blue black with a deluxe converter.The above combination gave me great satisfaction but during the last year, the cap of the pen started becoming wobbly. As a consequence, air started getting into it (I think) and every time I started writing, I found the pen dried out.Now, for this price and after daily use for 4 years, such thing is imho acceptable.Another point I'd like to make is that the Urban is significantly better than Parker's IM models. They appear the same, same/similar nib etc. so before I bought this, I ordered an IM for a change. But with the same ink/converter/paper combo, the feeling of the pen was significantly worse in that it wrote edgy and did not flow on paper like the Urban.So, overall, for less than £30, this is a great buy.

Dynamic colour blends well with my turquise filofax. This is a birthday present to me and I am delighted with it. Using Parker converter and filling with Waterman encre bleu ink. The ink flows through the medium sized nib and it feels good to be writing with a fountain pen again:) This nib also accommodates my italic handwriting another plus for me. I have been inspired to return to my other fountain pens both Parker and Waterman; using them on my special topics journals. Little time left and still so much to do with this pen it all feels achievable:)

Good pen well made. Writes nice. Solid and good price.

Well crafted, solidly built, writes smoothly. My only gripe is that it doesn't come with a refillable ink pump - instead it's comes with disposable cartridges. A fountain pen used to be refillable by design with a built-in pump but evidently the distinction between fountain and cartridge pens has been lost over time. This as sold is a CARTRIDGE PEN and you need to shell out more money if you want a refillable pump for it.

I enjoy using my pen ...Good price too

I love the grip. It is also slightly heavier than my previous fountain pen but this adds to the pleasure of holding it. I would have preferred a finer writing - something between fine and medium to be honest - but this is a great buy, highly recommended!

Really lovely pen to write with. Weighty and balanced with a smooth nib. Might start hand writing letters again!! Lovely vibrant colour. This replaced a cheaper Parker model and I'm very pleased I upgraded.
