What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives both a medium point and a 0.5mm line size, but does not explain how the line-size figure relates to the nib. It also describes the finish as glossy black with chrome attributes while feature text specifies palladium-plated trim. The gift-box claim is not confirmed by the explicit contents list, which names only an ink cartridge, so check the selected listing for the exact package contents.
