Parker IM Fountain Pen | Black Lacquer with Chrome Trim | Fine Nib with Blue Ink Refill | Gift Box

Lovely quality pen in a lovely dark blue colour. Looks very smart. It’s nice and light if your writing for any length of time.

Like this pen. Looks chic, barrel right size and writes well. Have a number of fountain pens with plastic ink refill and hate them all. This time the refill worked first time round and the ink flowed immediately. This was my last try with a refill pen in order to use up a bundle of refills. My only problem is I am unlikely to touch the other pens again (except the MB ones).

Great value for price, quality well made pen set.

A beautifully designed pen that feels good in hand, writes smoothly and has great capacity. Always draws (no pun intended) admiring comments from others. I really enjoy using it.

This was a gift... Obviously I had a little peek in the box before wrapping it up - I thought it was lovely. My recipient was pleased and reports that it writes well and was thrilled. Hope that helps.

I got the Parker IM Duo Pen Gift Set (Fountain Pen + Ballpoint) thinking it would just be a nice, slightly fancy stationery upgrade. What I didn’t expect was the immediate personality shift into: “I am now a person who writes things down deliberately.” First impression: Very sleek, very “professional adult who owns matching luggage and probably knows what a pension is.” The box alone feels like it should be opened in a boardroom. Inside, you get: * A fountain pen (for thoughts you want to feel important) * A ballpoint pen (for everything else you will inevitably forget five minutes later) * A general sense that your handwriting should improve immediately The fountain pen writes with that slightly dramatic, smooth ink flow that makes even grocery lists feel like literature. The ballpoint is more practical, but still far above “borrowed-from-a-supermarket-drawer” energy. Realistically: * The set is positioned as a classic executive-style gift with a solid metal build and Parker’s signature arrow clip design * It’s designed for everyday reliability, with a fountain pen nib and smooth Quinkflow ballpoint refill for consistent writing * It comes properly boxed, very much in “this is a meaningful gift” territory rather than “I panic-bought this in Tesco” territory What I didn’t expect: * I now write slower on purpose, like my thoughts deserve processing time * Signing receipts feels unnecessarily ceremonial * I’ve started judging other pens in public, silently, like a Victorian scholar with opinions Pros: * Genuinely smooth writing experience (both pens behave like they’ve had manners training) * Nice weight and balance—feels substantial without being heavy * Fountain + ballpoint combo covers every writing situation imaginable * Excellent “gift impact” level—looks far more expensive than it feels to use Cons: * You will start overthinking your handwriting immediately * People will assume you’re either organised or about to resign dramatically * You may develop opinions about ink flow, which is a slippery slope Final verdict: 10/10 gift set. 10/10 accidental personality upgrade. 0/10 chance of ever going back to “cheap pen from a drawer” life without feeling emotionally downgraded.

The Parker IM Fountain Pen in black lacquer with chrome trim looks sleek and professional — a great gift presentation and solid build quality. However, since the pen itself is black, I feel it would make more sense for it to come with black ink rather than blue. It’s a small detail, but one that affects the overall aesthetic and practicality for some users. That said, I’m overall satisfied with the product. It writes smoothly, feels well-balanced in hand, and the packaging is elegant. Just a minor tweak could make it perfect.

Looks good on web,packaging better quality that the pens.very disappointed in quality.The last Parker I bought was in the 70's before production moved to China

Produkt spełnia moje oczekiwania. Polecam

Es una pluma qué se siente bien construida y resistente para el uso continuó, escribe con gran fluidez y tiene un peso muy agradable en la mano. Es una pluma qué si recomiendo.

Outstanding pen. Great look and understated style. Feels solid in the hand. Fine nib is perfect for writing clearly and precisely. Lost my first one and bought the exact same one again because I liked it so much.

Sehr schönes Set. Füller und Kugelschreiber schreiben gut. Eignet sich auch gut als Geschenk.

J'ai utilisé ce stylo pendant plusieurs jours et je suis très satisfait(e). >L'écriture est fluide et précise, sans bavures. >La prise en main est confortable, même pour de longues sessions. Le design est simple mais élégant, et le stylo semble solide. Globalement, c'est un stylo que je recommande pour un usage quotidien, personnel ou professionnel.
