Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If I could have given this no stars, I would have. The particular pen I received was COUNTERFEIT. I expected to love this pen after all of the incredible reviews, but out of the box, I had trouble getting the pen to write. I finally got it going, still wasn't loving it, and started doing some research, I found several videos and blogs detailing fake Safaris, and realized mine was one of them. This blog: http://www.deskoflori.com/blog/2015/4/16/my-experience-with-a-counterfeit-lamy-safari has an excellent description and photos of a fake Lamy Safari, and I experienced every single one of these issues. This video also explains how to recognize counterfeits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EE3DtrJlEA My pen fit that description as well. Even if I were getting no money back for returning the pen, I would send it back for the principal of the thing. I will be going to a legitimate pen dealer for a replacement, and will gladly pay more for the genuine article. What a disappointing Amazon Marketplace Experience. The only positive here is that I am getting a full refund.
