I read all the reviews about "Made in China," however, the pen has been an awesome idea for gifts.  My husband had 2 of these from 20+ years ago that he used for work and lost one of them.  I finally broke down and found one to replace the one he lost (this one) and he was like a kid in a candy store.  I placed the old one next to the new one, and I can't tell the difference.  Neither can he.  He is pleased as punch, as is everyone else I decided to give them to as gifts.  They work great for just about any occasion from high school graduation to Father's Day, or just because.  Also, I priced these elsewhere and Amazon has the best price. Also, the packaging says "class."  You know when you see the package that someone has thought enough to "send the best."  I will definitely continue purchasing these.  Great product for an affordable price. . .
