Tibaldi Bononia Bora Bora

I don't usually return pens, especially internationally, that are otherwise fit-for-purpose writing instruments, but just don't look as ‘perfect’ as I hoped they would. This one, however, I sent back for exchange.

It is greatly disappointing when the manufacturer does not check for this kind of thing, either (preferably) during production or in its end-product QC procedures, when the key selling point of such a pen is its good looks appealing to imagery of a South Pacific island paradise. This pen body, as made, belongs in the bin.
