A new one to me, probably an old design which faded into obscurity some years ago, but what goes around comes around.
Good things
Cheap
Parker Refill
Profiled top so that the upper barrell flows into the metalwork so it looks designed
Sturdy clip
Bad things
None really, although with all pens of this type such as the sierra and the cigar, a thorough but short clean of the inside of the upper tube prior to installation will make a much smoother operation.
not alot else really
Odd things
Plating choice currently Silver, chrome and gold????
Its a good pen and is almost a parker streamline, or a good alternative for someone who wants a cheaper parker refill pen.
If this picture is not the right way up and uncropped it is because the person who wrote the photonucket is a complete arse. It might resolve itself and appear the right way up in time when Photobucket decides its the right time of the month. Yes I know Flickr is better, but its taken me two years to get this far with photobucket so for the meantime it'll have to do. (Click on the photo and it takes you to photobucket and its the right way up!)
The woods used are, from the left,
