Really tricky to review, as the look when it arrived was horrific! I was expecting this, based on other reviews, but it did arrive even worse than expected.I forgot to take pics before polishing the barrel of the pen, but it all looked exactly the same as the cap in the pictures. Almost completely black!I knew I'd be able to polish however, and the after pics on this review, were after literally 8 mins of polishing. I used some metal polish (the kind in a metal tube) and it was super easy. Put on with paper towels, then wipe off with dry towel. All the tarnish came off hence the street pictures.Other than that issue, the pen is now simply amazing. Stunning. Writes amazingly. It is a cross century 2, rollerball, in sterling silver (the description is misleading on amazon for this item. It mentions gold chrome and also a completely different pen at some point.I initially bought a cross century 1 ballpoint in silver (which arrived with almost no tarnish) but it just felt farrr cheaper than expected. It was too light in the hand (you can see that pen in some of pics in case you want a size comparison), also being ballpoint, it wrote worse than a bic biro... This century 2 looks and feels the part instantly. With the century 1, I felt that I'd be embarrassed to show someone, as they may think it's an £8 cheap supermarket pen etc... Whereas this century 2 is clearly a piece of class when you look at it and then pick it up, and the rollerball is far superior to ballpoint. I'd be proud to show this pen off!So yes, amazing as I got a cheap price, but I did have to polish the entire pen. I'm REALLY happy that I bought it.Thanks.

The grip is so apt, you can keep writing endlessly. However the grip is little slippery and can be used as a sign pen. It looks class apart on a formal setting with its beautiful looks and gold trims. The ink flow is really smooth and a costly refil will not be a problem due to its high quality. Medium point is best for office use. The pen writes best at any angle or any hand position and you don't need to frequently adjust your hand setting while writing. Writes best at 45 degree angle and even at lower angle due to its high quality refil. A very long cone between finger tip and refill ball point gives a very controlled movement which helps in writing for quite a long time without tiring. Best pen for writing with most beautiful looks.

Order took a bit longer to arrive than expected at the time of purchase, but it came in time since I gave myself a month.Just give yourself an extra week or two if you have a deadline, and you should be fine.It was packaged well and looks great.Very nice pen—slim and sophisticated
