The first leak of this pen dated back to Nov, 2023. After some regular delays, it was launched yesterday.
The high price due to:
1. ebonite feed - but it does not come with Low Ink Refill function
2. all metal piston components - why? MB Hemingway with all metal piston mechanism?
so, both "upgrade specifications" do not actually deliver any "upgrade in function".
Pro:
- quite a bit vintage pen look, homage to MB Hemingway, don't sleep old man don't sleep.
Con:
- expensive, compared with other makers with similar specifications.
- no Low Ink Refill function. (I bought another P139 in Feb, 2025, which comes with LIR)
- when posted, the cap will rest on piston knob and turn it with ease (pictures near the end).
