Allow me to introduce to you the Diplomat Magnum - a rather stylish and lightweight ballpoint pen with a strong metal pocket clip and a large top retract button.

This is an affordable ballpoint pen from a fantastic maker - Diplomat - A German company that have been engineering exceptionally good writing implements since 1922.

The Diplomat Magnum Ballpoint uses standard 'Parker-style' G2 refills, so you'll always have plenty of choices available. This is a simple but interesting design, making for a very practical pen.

What is the Magnum John Doe? John Doe is the colour of this pen, a metallic bluey purple, that changes in the light. The Diplomat Magnum is available in a range of colours but the John Doe is a little different. Depending on how the light catches it you will see blue or purple. When you are looking at the pen, the part closest to you is a bluey colour, and the sides away catch a purply colour. But as you turn the pen around, that stays true - the blue is always facing you, and if you turn the pen away, it is all purple. I say, is not that marvellous!
