Overall Grade: 5/10 Issues: Ok this pen has 2 issues one minor & one thats not a problem anymore but needs mentioned. 1) The filler unit should be a speedline filler and not the clear war time model. 2) When I got the pen in it had a wicked 3/8" chunk missing from the cap lip. I was able to rebuild it with celluloid & it's very stable. I actually post the pen with no problems at all. I didn't have any green stripe material like the pattern so I used a piece of black & blended it in. Comments: This is a usergrade pen that writes very well. Other Notes: I've been using this one for more than 6 months with no problems of any kind.

Overall Grade: 6/10 Issues: The person I picked this one up from did some repairs on the cap to stabilize a pair of cracks. I believe he used epoxy & did a fair job of it. I've been using it for 4 months now & it's holding very well. When he repaired it some of the chasing was filled in & now has a smooth spot on the back side of the cap. Comments: The chasing on the barrel looks factory fresh. The color is as close to perfect as I've seen. Other Notes: If you have a spare cap for this one you'll have a superb pen. as it isnow it's still an awesome writer.

Overall Grade: 8.95/10 Issues: None at all Comments: I have this one set up to take Parker Gel or BP refills and or Faber Castell RB refills. I have 4 of these I'll include with the pen. Other notes. To get the refills to fit properly I used some felt wadding & filled the end of the barrel with it. It's set up for the faber refills right now. For the Parkers you'll need to add some more material to the barrel. 1/2 of a cotton ball should do the trick.
