Parker Jotter 2016 'refresh'

Lol, that would be genius sneaky John.

Feather? More like Sgt. Jotter.

I really like these new Jotters, especially the Oxford pinstripe version. At the moment it seems they are not available for sale in the U.S., hopefully that will change.

I saw them in tesco today for £10 may have to buy one. Seem to have replaced even the standard Jotters

Hi 'The blue knight', I've seen a couple of the colours in my local Tesco (UK supermarket chain) where this week I saw the violet colour barrel Jotter in stock @ £9. Last week they had the blue barrel version. They also have the all S.S. with gold trim, but at a higher price.

They also have the refills in the new grey packaging, same price as before.

Sad news if this ugly pen replaced the older Jotter

 

Damn shame Sheaffer guys keep the Sentinel price at 20 euro. It would be the right time to take Jotter's spot

I bought one of the all metal Jotters at Staples about a month ago...for the sake of nostalgia. I hadn't owned one in over 30 years.

 

The new pen feels pretty cheap and flimsy in comparison to my recollection of how they used to work and feel.back in the '70's, I guess nothing lasts forever.

I saw the new all-stainless with revised clip fletching this week, in the supermarket. In the flesh, I don't hate the new clip, but it's not an improvement in my eyes.

I've looked out for these over the last few weeks, bought one (at the start of this thread), and I think it is a 'change', not better nor worse.

Recently, I've seen new style clips in old style packaging, and the old style Jotter FP in the 'new' grey boxes, but over time the 'old' style clips will no doubt disappear.

My guess is the plastic barrel will continue to be made, for the 'promo' market, as the new cap/clicker top fits it just the same, then at some point in the future, the new plated cap/clicker will appear for the premium versions of 'Jotter'.
