Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Palatial Pearl, from the "Mother of Pearl" collection
Manufacturer and Year Taccia - ca. 2003-11. The Mother of Pearl collection began in 2006. It's unclear where these were made - the company began in US, but production is currently in Japan.
Length 5-1/2" -- quite a fat pen!
Filling System Converter/cartridges. A converter is installed. There are two ink cartridges in the box.
Color "Amber Flame" cap, section and longish (1-1/8") end of barrel. The 2" barrel is mother-of-pear with 7 abalone stripes. There is a beautiful glow/shimmer when the pen is twirled.
Nib Medium 18k nib. This (replacement) nib was made for Loiminchay and is very smooth and soft feeling. (We will include the original gold plated Taccia steel nib.)
Condition Excellent condition, in box, with two ink cartridges and with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large, beautiful, shiny pen that makes a statement. The mother of pearl barrel and the orange cap, section, and end piece all look great. The chrome cap threads have pitting along the bottom edge. The chrome band near the end of the barrel has wear and pitting. The cap band, clip, and clip band look nice. The logo on top of the cap has a few smidges of plating wear. The imprint is clear.
