This is a short review of Inoxcrom Sirocco. After purchasing the Corinthian, made as well by Inoxcrom, I come across with an offer of Sirocco and Wall Street together. Both of them had Daily Telegraph “T” logo. I find out the pens was prizes of the newspaper back in the early 2000’s, on the crossword page. I’m not bothered with the printed logo, on the Sirocco is on the cap’s jewel, on Wall Street is below the clip, on the cap. 1. Appearance/Design 10 Inoxcrom Sirocco it is a large pen, made of resin with gold trimmings. It’s slightly tapered on both ends, which they have black jewels. In this case on the cap it has “T” logo. The cap’s gold ring is writing INOXCROM – SPAIN. My pen it is all black, with the smooth cap, not striated. It is a pen that can fly under the radar, not flashy! 2. Construction/Quality 9 The pen came to me in a bad state, but because of high quality resin I was able to clean and restore easily. The section’s metal thread was stuck to the barrel, and the nib unit was loose because of that. After cleaning of residual ink, I glue with some resin the metal thread to the section. I like the thickness of the resin, substantial and solid. It has a long and strong pocket clip. Threads on the section where cap screws on are smooth. The section has an O-ring when the barrel screw securely back on. [ 3. Weight/Dimensions 10 The largest from the 3 Inoxcrom pens I’ve bought. Despite being large it feels light, comfortable and well balanced, either posted or uncapped. Dimensions: Capped – 14.9CM Uncapped – 13.5CM Cap -6.5CM Posted – 16.3CM Weight: Capped – 30G Uncapped – 20G Cap only 10G [ 4. Nib/Performance 10 It has his original nib, medium point. It is a nib made in house by Inoxcrom. It is smooth, with a hint of feedback, and actually it kind of finest medium line. It looks like #6 nibs, so easily can be swapped with another one on preference. I will keep as it is. I’m using Pilot BB ink and no complaints so far. 5. Filling system/Maintenance 9 This is a standard C/C pen, easy to take out the nib and feed, easy to maintain, I’m happy with this. 6. Cost/Value In my case, the acquisition cost is irrelevant. I have purchase the 2 pens way too low! On Ebay, Sirocco is between £60-160, depending on the cap design or acrylic used. It is worth to get one. 7. Conclusion 9.6 I like large pens; I’m a big fellow, with large hands... I also like the quality of the materials, and how the pen feels in hand.
