I recently ordered a Parker Frontier ball point. I like the SS-GT varierty of pens. So this was one of that variety. This pen has a metallic top part, and the "section" part is the plastic/rubberised - but whatever the material, its of good quality - and not at all feels like the usual gripper that we find in pens. Besides, the SS-GT has a bit deeper hue to it and very smooth and shiny - that gives a very good looks to it. The refill of-course is the standard jotter refill made by Parker with the quink ink. The pen has a good heft to it, and feels good to use. The presentation is very good pf2 by anup@indiapoint, on Flickr The Luxor stamp is unmistakable pf4 by anup@indiapoint, on Flickr Though the box is made of paper, it looks quite neat pf3 by anup@indiapoint, on Flickr pf5 by anup@indiapoint, on Flickr The pen: pf6 by anup@indiapoint, on Flickr The pen compared to other pens: L-R - Parker Frontier, Parker Jotter, and Oliver M-2 - which I had review previously Generally using Fountain Pens, I have become habituated with a bit thicker section. I had bought this Parker Frontier with the hope that it has a thicker section. Though the section is thicker than the jotter, it is a normal thickness and not really thick. (all these three pens use the same standard jotter refill). Infact I am now habituated with the M2 thickness which makes me more comfortable, and still searching for a ball point of similar thickness at the grip section. pf7 by anup@indiapoint, on Flickr The pen interestingly is manufactured in India pf1 by anup@indiapoint, on Flickr I had read previously that Waterman pens are being manufactured in India, but didn't know that Parkers are also being manufactured in India. These are manufactured by Luxor most likely for sale only in India and Nepal (as mentioned in the sticker) Eventhough these are being manufactured in India, the max retail price in India matches with the price as anywhere else in the world. At lease the Luxor site sells them at MRP though one can get discounts from other retailers / e-retailers Thanks for reading.
