I was eagerly awaiting this exotic piece, or it's totally chrome 24c brother.
When I got it, I was impressed. However, when I unscrewed it, it immediately felt wrong. And it was - threadpost was not totally covered with chrome, and it also looked like it's corroding. Whe contacting the vendor for a replacement head, they said all Parker open-comb stock chrome coating is scratched, and even the best looking head was really not looking good. The chrome on the head and on the handle is really not the same, and in both cases sub-par, no matter the price.
