Customer Reviews
Never saw one of these pens in person, so when I received it I was surprised by how short it was. Not a bad thing, I don't have giant hands anyway. What really amazed me was the girth of the pen. A NICE big chunky grip section and barrel. VERY solid feeling and with a bit ow weight, too. When writing with this one you know you have a PEN in your hand! A quite smooth and nice writer, too! I think this pen is an O.K. value for the money!
THIS ICONIC & BEAUTIFUL PEN EXCEEDED WHY WILDEST EXPECTATIONS. I MYSELF COTTON TO THE BRIGHT ORANGE COLOR. THE PENS CAPACITY/RESERVE IS AMAZING. I PERSONALLY AM DELIGHTED WITH THE PEN'S GIRTH. IT SUITS MY HAND EXACTLY. IT'S SHORTER LENGTH IS PRACTICAL. I USE THIS PEN PRACTICALLY DAILY, TO RELISH IN IT'S EASE OF USE & THE PLEASURE IT AFFORDS ME. ADEIU!
It is a very good fountain pen, I received the product in perfect condition, I like it so much. This is my second purchase from The Goulet Pens. So far, my transactions with The Goulet Pens is excellent. Thank you very much!
The Original lives up to its name. It is stunningly beautiful, classic, comfortable, and a great writer. It sports the same dimensions and craftsmanship as my pre-hiatus mid sized Dolce Vita Orro. This version has a steel nib, but is smooth, consistent and wet.
