Received mine as well. Very fast, this time! Everything looks good and it works great. Writing with it is glass-smooth. I noticed a couple of odd things, though. One, this is built entirely different from the first Passaporto I ordered through here. The metal unit joining the feed and reservoir together is gone and is now simple plastic threads integrated into the grip section. The cap's threading is far more coarse (comes off with ~1/4 turn instead of the other Passaporto's ~1 1/2 turns) and sticks out internally which means that it severely gouges up the end of the reservoir when you post it. I've only had it a couple of days and it's already seriously chewed up and nasty looking. My partner also ordered a pen from this sale and received a third version of the pen that's different still from my two Passaportos. Finally, I ordered a Fine and received a Medium. This is ***not Massdrop's fault in any way*** because the box is marked as containing a Fine. But it writes wider than my Pilot Medium and writes exactly the same size as my other Passaporto Medium. Macro shots of the two Passaporto nibs side-by-side confirmed that they're identical. It writes so nicely that I'm sticking with it, though.
I'm mostly bummed about apparently receiving a Passaporto with a cap made for the old design that had threads on the reservoir so you could screw it on to post it.
