In the world of high end, high quality fountain pens, this Big Red is a fantastic deceptive sleeper. IMHO, today Parker is thought of in a historical aspect as a legacy brand. Indeed, the word “vintage” finds its way into the title description for this particular fountain pen. Worry not - Old School Rules!
You would be hard pressed to find a better writing fountain pen than the venerable Big Red. Color me definitely impressed!
The Big Red in particular takes attention to detail to an even higher level. When writing with nib to paper, the Big Red’s barrel engraving is viewable for reading - not hidden underneath, not obscured on the side - but, aligned up and presentable as you’re writing. Very cool!
Other than writing, fit in the hand is most important to me, and here the Big Red really excels. The Big Red’s grip section is stellar, contouring down to a moderate flare at the end. Brilliant! For comparison, the flare at the end of the grip section on my Sailor Realo 1911 and Pelikan Souverän M805 are less pronounced, and my Aurora Optima is more pronounced. The Big Red hits the sweet spot.
I have been writing up a storm since receiving mine.
In person, the aesthetic of the Big Red reminds me of a beautiful MB Hemingway I missed out on years ago.
It’s your loss if you don’t pull the trigger on a Big Red; I am pleased as punch I did.
The pen is slightly smaller than my vintage Parker Duofold Big Red from the 1925 era. However, the orange shade between the two pens is very, very close. The finish on the pen is impeccable.
The nib is smooth, and the ink flow is generous. Parker Quink tends to be a dry ink (like the Pelikan inks), so the feeds have larger channels. Thus, if you really want a wet nib, use a wetter ink like Waterman or Sheaffer. There is no skipping. Even the top of the nib is polished, so that reverse writing is silky smooth.
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2019
While I know it's a "Parker", I would personally recommend getting it only if you absolutely love the style or must have a Parker Duofold. For me, I think it is not worth the money at all. For a fountain pen, it should be much smoother. I have extra fine points that are cheaper that write a lot smoother and which feel more comfortable.
It is like Montblanc, very overpriced for what little you get. But if you do get it, you will get a comfortable-to-hold fountain pen that performs very well and which looks very beautiful. However, as I have already mentioned, it is not a good value given the wide array of other pens on the market in this price range or even lower.

Es algo cara, pero para los que somos apasionados de las plumas fuente es un producto que merece la pena tener.
Die Groesse des Centennial entspricht ziemlich genau einem Pelikan M 800, zählt also schon zu den Grossen.
Im Bilde der Vergleich: Montblanc Meisterstueck 149 (oben), Parker Duofold Centennial, Pelikan M 1000, M 805, M 205; im zweiten Bild direkter Vergleich mit dem M 805 (rechts).
Die feine Feder meines Centennial schreibt mit etwas Feedback, aber nicht kratzig, federt schoen (nicht so schoen wie die grossen Pelikanfedern), man bekommt auch durchaus verschiedene Strichbreiten hin. Umgedreht schreibt er sehr fein, durchaus praktikabel.
Insgesamt ist die Feder eher nass schreibend, was ich als sehr angenehm für eine feine Feder empfinde.
Die Haptik ist gut und auch für laengere Schriftstuecke gut geeignet.
Der Preis? Bei einem flagship pen immer zu hoch und gerade bei diesem hier extrem schwankend; wenn man ein Liebhaber des gepflegten Schreibgeraetes ist, sollte man im niedrigen 300er Bereich aber durchaus zugreifen. Das ist er allemal wert.

The nib is perfect and build quality is very good.
It looks great and feels better than thicker version of Duofold Centennial.
However, it feels too light in hand.
