Review: Rotring Freeway, Matte Black, Medium

This Rotring Freeway was a gift from my husband last August 6th. Not being a collector himself, I really appreciated the kind of effort that went into researching and finding a collector to sell him this pen. There’s not much that I know about this pen, except that it’s already out of production. There are a few being sold on eBay, though there doesn’t seem to be many matte black fountain pens on the market at the moment.

The pen fills up with a converter, and I suspect that it would also fit international standard converters/cartridges. The pen is in near mint condition and looks like it has never been inked. The box it came in looks like those boxes for Rotring drawing pens. It’s a very utilitarian-looking pen. I honestly fell in love with it the first time I held it.
