I ordered two (2) Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pens from the Retro Pop Collection in Turquoise & Purple. Both are Fine Point Nibs and with exception of the Color & Design patterns on the cross section they are identical to the Metropolitan Classic Collection. I'm Glad I purchased additional Metropolitan Fountain Pens as it does make life easier having several pens to choose from rather than rely on a single pen. Contents The pens come in the same standard packaging as other Pilot Metropolitan's and includes both a single Black Cartridge & Con-20 Style Ink Converter. It makes the Metropolitan's probably the best starter pen as it has everything you need to begin writing. Nib Both pens were a bit scratchy after their first inking of Iroshizuku Ink. I grabbed my Metropolitan Classic and confirmed it writes smoother and I'm guessing these just need to be used a while to adjust & align the Nib's. I vaguely recall the Classic was very scratch
