And of course we have the Parker Sonnet Great Expectations Fountain Pen. This is the subtle big red version of the pen. You can see the glossy paint or finish on the pen. It is a metal cap and barrel. It is a little heavier...not too heavy but just a durable feeling pen. Feels like it is well made. Has a beautiful black medallion there on the top is centered in a chrome ring. That chrome ring transitions into a chrome colored clip. It looks like the traditional Parker arrow design on the clip. And then on the ring on the bottom of the cap is that beautiful orange color. It's engraved with the Parker logo and Sonnet France there on the other side the backside of that.
Simple rounded end at the bottom of the barrel looks like it has a slight taper to the barrel as well. The compression fit cap simply snaps off and slides on and can be posted. Has a small orange colored ring between the grip section and the barrel of the pen. The section is also a matte finish to it. Note that shiny luster. Has a little bit of a rib finish there so it makes it easy to grip and hold that pen. You see the nib on the pen. It has the Parker design or logo engraved into it and you see the feed there on the backside of the pen.
Now this is a cartridge converter style pen. So to change the ink you unscrew the section from the barrel of the pen. Included with the pen is an ink converter if you wanted to use bottled inks. It also can accept ink cartridges and included with the pen is ink cartridge in here at the bottom of the box as well as the Parker information about the pen. Parker is a long standing brand and they have been around for quite a while. Great fountain pen. I love this new design.

Parker Sonnet Great Expectations Special Edition Reviews
A very nice 18k gold nib. Wet and smooth. The only problem I have with the pen is that the nib dries out after a day because the cap is not air tight, which is disappointing. I bought the pen from Pen Chalet, who are always wonderful to deal with, at a significant discount during a sale which made up with the lackluster performance. At the full retail price, I would not consider this pen a solid choice.

Lovely pen, nice weight for a pen that's on the skinny side. The 18K gold nib has a bit of spring to it, which I prefer over the typical nail nibs one encounters in modern pens. A worthy successor to the legendary Parker 75.
