Filling System Japanese-style eyedropper. It has the large capacity of an eyedropper pen (approximately 3.6ml), but the added benefit of a shut-off valve to keep the pen from leaking. To fill it, unscrew the section and drip ink into the barrel with the included glass eyedropper, When you're ready to write, unscrew the blind cap a bit, which releases a rubber stopper inside and allows ink to flow into the feed. You can then close it up and get a couple of pages of writing, or leave it open for longer sessions. When the blind cap is closed, the stopper prevents temperature or pressure changes causing burping or excessive ink flow.
Color Orange, Red, Brown, and White swirls with white bands near the top of the cap and the end of the barrel. End pieces are shiny brown. Black clip. Red/Orange viewing window. The eye dropper has a pink bulb.
Nib EXTRA-FINE steel nib
Condition Excellent +, in box, with paperwork and eye-dropper. This is a chunky, beautifully colored, shiny pen that makes a statement. The cap and barrel have light scratching. The imprint on the clip is clear.
