Sheaffer 100 Medium Point Fountain Pen, Black/Chrome (9313-0M)

I really liked this pen initially. It's comfortable to hold, and a nice weight. Then I didn't use it for a while, and the ink in the nib dried out. At first I just refilled it, but it didn't write well at all. Then, I soaked it for a couple of days to make sure there was no dried up ink inside, but it still doesn't write well. Every time I go to use it, there's no ink in the nib until I unscrew it and force ink out by screwing the converter. I have to do this, even when it's just a few hours since I last used it.

This is a great pen of good quality, weight and size. I have been writing with it for 2 and 1/2 years and it still looks like new. It should last for a long time...if only I could say the same about the refills- as I have gone through many of them. If they could get the refills to perform better this pen would be perfect.I briefly lent it to a couple of different people for a few seconds but I am never going to do that again as there are theives everywhere.I use it for composing, my diaries and for reviews of books and for writing notes in general.It is a great pen, though I might be tempted to get a real gold or real silver pen eventually.Or while I am at it , why not try a quill?!

The pen comes all wrappedup in a nice quality gift box. It looks great and writes very smoothly, although it looks a slightly lighter blue in the advert.I got it for myself but it would make a lovely present for someone else.

Second Sheaffer I have bought, the first was much heavier and at first this didn't feel as premium a pen so initially I was a little disappointed. Should be noted my original pen was almost triple the price. However once I started using it properly it's obviously a quality pen, feels good to use, the blue case colour is impressive to look at and it writes very well. It also comes in a very stylish box so would make a perfect gift. Overall impressed as an everyday writing pen

Amazing quality with smooth action. I had to get a pen that wasn’t Nickel due to being allergic. This feels great in my hand to write with.
