What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about the product identity: the title describes a Hémisphère rollerball, while the model field says “Hémisphère Fountain”. Its claimed gloss black finish and 23-karat gold-plated trim are described in feature text, while the basic colour field says black with gold trim. The dark blue gift box is in the contents list, but any additional kit item is not corroborated. Confirm the exact pen and package contents on the selected listing. The stated water-resistance entry is “Not Water Resistant”.
