Pen arrived in perfect shape, still in it's factory sealed tray. Not a mark on it. I had one of these 25 years ago and not thinking put it in my back pocket one day. Sat down and.....cracked the barrel. Now I have my pen back.

I received the pen and is false Poor quality

The way this pen glides across paper with only minute amounts of felt friction,just enought feed back from the paper to remind myself that im writing. The pens balance and ink flow allow me to "open up my grip on the pen" And not hold it so tight. The ink meets the paper smooth,smooth flow with no dry spots in the ink/paper interface. Love this pen it costs more than a disposible ball point,but if you write with a meisterstruct you will know where those extra dollars went!
