Parker Insignia--Curious To See If Cap Seals Better Than Sonnet

18 November 2013 - 02:02 PM

I bought this pen because I wanted to see if it would have a better cap than a Sonnet.

Apparently I'll find out soon.  Some of my Sonnets seem to dry out too quickly, and research found that in the manufacturing process the riveting on of the clip broke the inside cap of many early Sonnets.  I am hoping the Insignia will be better.  I am hoping to be able to use the sections of the various Sonnets that have nice nibs into pens that have better seals.  One good point of the Sonnet is that all the sections are black, allowing you to mix and match.
