Can't comment on that particular model, but one of my absolute worst experiences in the fountain pen industry was with Monteverde. They generally make decent (at best) quality pens. But sometimes it's inconsistent. Absolutely stay away from their Impressa line of pens in particular. Bought two such fountain pens. One in med. for a Dutch performance artist acquaintance of mine, and a fine point for me.
I always test out fountain pens before gifting them. And very glad I did! Her's was ridiculously defective in a weird way. Would write for a page just fine. But ink flow would become horribly unreliable after just over one page of writing. Thought the issue was the nib. Tried replacing it. Usually an easy task on a fountain pen. Nope! New nib got horribly stuck in the pen. Couldn't fix it. Got fed up, tossed the pen in the trash! Tried mine. Very same issue. Okay, limited number of parts on a fountain pen. Decided to try a more drastic fix with this one.
Ended up replacing everything on it! Nib, feed, converter. One of those was horribly defective from the factory. Nib and feed were also from Monteverde. However, from a different line. Converter was surprisingly a different issue. Standard International converters from different brands don't all fit the same inside of different pens from different brands that use such converters. Some are a bit loose inside the barrel. Some a bit tight. Some very loose. Some very tight. And others just right.... depending on which pen you have.
Ordered an army of S.I. converters from as many different brands as I could find! Got them all in the mail. The very 2nd one I tried was a perfect fit. So I use that one exclusively in my Impressa. Honestly, as a pen buyer, you should not have to resort to any of the above in order to get a working modern-day fountain pen. I have two free "Charlie" fountain pens from the Noodler's Ink Company. I have two Platinum Preppy pens. One older model for $3.96, and a newer model for $4.96; and yes they are functionally reliable right out of the box. (Well, the Preppys don't actually come with a box.)
My Impressa has an interesting story behind it, and is very memorable to me.... for literally all the wrong reasons. I'll never sell it nor give it away. Considering everything I went through to get that pen to function normally; no way am I parting with it!
So yeah, I'd recommend being very cautiously optimistic in general when it comes to buying anything from Monteverde. Ended up buying the artist a Parker Sonnet, instead.
