Well-made pen with a nice tip and excellent writing. Nice build quality and a variety of colors at a very affordable price. It takes standard Pelikan type cartridges, and although it is metallic, it is not too heavy. The section of the pen that has the tip is plastic, while the cap and body are metallic. The only peculiarity that someone should pay attention to is that although this series is sold by the company as medium, the writing is a good, thick fine. If someone wants a classic, full-bodied medium as a writing style, I would suggest getting a different pen.
