The Duke 552 fountain pen - interesting and odd fountain pen.
Had some issues with it and that kind of stops me from recommending it, but after a little bit of work I got it to function decently.

NOTE
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
01 - I decided to take a hiatus from buying fountain pens - for at least until end of July 2023. I need to focus on some side project that I put on for a long time.
I still have enough fountain pens to review for another year at least... so I will be keeping these weekly drawings, just won't be on anything new - not that I was ever in a rush to have the latest and greatest anyway :).
02 - I tend to confuse terms sometimes, so I apologize for that. I correct myself in the subtitles - so if by any chance something doesn't make sense, look at the subtitles - things might make more sense.
