Product Description
Type Modern fountain pen
Product Name Model 33 "Abditus"
Manufacturer and Year Franklin-Christoph Pen Company, USA, this is a current model.
Length 5-11/16" capped length. 5-1/16" when cap is removed, and the section diameter is 7/16". Cap is 5-3/8" long (not a typo!).
Filling System Takes international cartridges, and comes fitted with a converter.
Color Black & Copper (?) - most of the body is black, and there is a 1/4" wide band of metallic coppery brown on both pieces.
Nib 1.9 "Christoph" nib, which is what they call their 2-slit 3-tine music nib. It's a #6 Jowo unit, and is thus interchangeable with those nibs. The nib has a black finish.
Condition Excellent condition. Pre-owned but only lightly used and in excellent condition. Handwear and microscratching on the cap and barrel, more so on the cap. Ships in a Franklin-Christoph maroon leather single pen case.
This is a uniquely constructed pen - Abditus is Latin for hidden or secret, and the barrel is hidden completely under the cap! Hold the pen where you see the small groove and twist the other portion, and pull the barrel out of the cap. The pen does not post.
