Filling System Blow-Filler
|
We have configured this pen as a blow-filler. It's a simple filling process: put the nib in ink, and blow in the hole in the end of the barrel. (Surprsing little pressure is actually required.) Leave the nib in the ink for a few seconds, pull it out and wipe off any excess ink on the section. The pen is ready to write. You don't need to unscrew the barrel, but if you did you'd see a simple rubber sac which will be easy to maintain and replace if it ever wears out. |
Color |
This pen has the bakul (matte) pink ripple pattern. (The Ranga pink ripple is more like burgundy ripple.)The clip is gold colored, and can be removed for a sleeker look. |
Nib | Flexible fine, almost full flex. The nib is a brand new Eversharp 14k nib from the 917 Symphony pens. These flexible nibs are excellent for every day writing, but they also produce an good degree of line varation. These are by the far the best and most flexible of the Symphony nibs we have tested. |
Condition |
Brand new, never used except during the process of building and testing. We fitted a new sac. The pen has been tested thoroughly for ink flow and smoothness. |
