Product Description

Product Name 803 Clipless Micarta. This is the second version of the TWSBI Micarta.
Manufacturer and Year TWSBI, made in Taiwan - c. 2012-14.

Color Brown Micarta, a composite of linen, canvas, cotton, paper, fiberglass or other fabric in a thermosetting plastic.
Nib BROAD gold plated steel nib is smooth and firm with excellent tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition. The pen looks great, with minimal scratching or handwear visible. The edge of the cap has some roughness to it, which may be a consequence of working with the unusual material, or maybe the result of the way the material behaves. There are also some "fuzzy" spots, especially where the cap threads are cut, which is an expected side-effect of the material (the fibers sometimes escape the resin and in some spots are impossible to polish away). No cracks, chips, or scratches. Staining is very common with this material and this pen does not have any. The imprints are clear.
