That's not a pen review, however information can be still interesting as reference for some pen collectors in future.
I made two separate Parker Sonnet Metro 2018 Special Edition 18K pen online orders from a well known british pen retailer recently. Both pens are identical and very nice however to my surprise there's a significant difference in shape and size of the package.
All accessories (cartridges, Parker papers) are included with both pens but placed on different positions regarding package design. There's also a difference in look and feel of inner cardboard. One is matte black while the other is more rough.
We know that companies do some differences, improvements, etc. between batches over the time however the interesting part here is that this pen is limited to 2018 production only (special edition), so whatever difference between batches Parker made, they made it within this same year time frame unless they continue to produce it.
