Great pen overall

The way the pen design includes 3 dimensional aspects like actual indentations for all the rivets is really interesting and great. The included refill is very smooth but I switched to a ballpoint since I like to use Rite in the Rain notebooks. The only downfall is that there is a good bit of tip wiggle with typical parker style refills. I did the tape around the tip trick and that solved it but it would be nice if the pen had been designed with a less tip wiggle. Overall it is still great and easily one of the coolest pens on the market from a design perspective and I would definitely buy it again or recommend it for a friend. This would be a great gift for any history/aviation lovers.
