Parker Jotter Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Medium, Stainless Steel with Barrel, Colors May Vary, Blue Ink

I have used Parker pens in the past, but for the last 10 years I had only been using Cross pens. I wanted to start using a larger barrel pen, so I ordered this Parker pen to see if it was as good as it used to be. The pen itself is not the same quality as it was before, but is still a good value. What is even more important is that the ink cartridge is still excellent. It writes smooth & has not skipped or blotched as I was using it. I still like the Cross ink cartridges a little more, but their skinny barrels are getting hard to handle as my hands become more arthritic. All in all, the Parker pen is a great buy, and I will continue to use it for my everyday writing.

It specified blue ink very disappointed when I received black ink writes nice though I'm very particular about blue ink.

just as presented, this is not a fancy pen, but it is long lasting and writes well. don't get the gel ink, it smudges.

No it was black ink and the pen was red

Cute, but black ink

I paid for a blue pen and received a black one.

It's not a parker quality. I guess it's some chinese cheap copy
