Product Description
Type Dip Fountain Pen (no ink reservoir)
Product Name Hysek Meta Design Dipping Pen. These were quite expensive new, and we see a new one on eBay with an asking price of $1,100.
Manufacturer and Year Jorg Hysek, Switzerland, circa 2008. Jorg Hysek is well-known in the watch designer arena. He's worked for such companies as Cartier, TAG Heuer, Seiko, and Rolex.
Length Capped: 7-9/16"; Uncapped: 7-1/8" (heavy and tapered)
Filling System Dipping Pen -- Dip two thirds of the nib into an ink bottle and let it remain there for a few seconds to fill the reservoir. This is sufficient to write a full page (normal writing). According to the instructions, it's not necessary to wipe the nib after every usage, but they do say you should rinse the nib and feed with water occassionally.
Nib FINE Black Steel Nib. There's a decent amount of flex, with line variation from fine to broad.
Color Lined Hard Rubber body (3-1/8") with long tapered palladium tail (2-7/16"), tapered palladium cap (2-1/8"), with royal blue cap top piece. Includes 2-11/16" steel pen holder in an industrial design.
Condition Excellent + condition, in box, with paperwork and steel pen holder. This is a long, heavy pen with beautiful tapered styling and with an industrial looking pen rest. There is an approximately 1/2" scratch on the short section that continues on to the ebonite ribbed barrel (see photos). The pen is in otherwise pristine condition. The blue top jewel on the cap is perfect. The imprints are clear.
