This elegantly styled fountain pen features a choice of colorful acrylic barrels with gold and chrome medium Irridium Point Germamy nib. Note that the nib can (and should regularly) be removed for cleaning and may be replaced with nibs from other manufacturers, (e.g., Bock or Jowo Germany.) All my pens include information on caring for your pen so that you can use them for many years. It is important to know about the nib (see below) because it means your pen represents a long-lasting investment as it can evolve with your writing needs.

For ink, choose between disposable cartridge (I have had good experience with Waterman) or (installed) "converter" cartridge that allows re-filling from an inkwell or bottle (Parker ink in a bottle is available in many stores in the USA - a bottle should last a year if you write often.) In addition to being particularly smooth writing, an of the advantages of fountain ink pens is the possibility to write and draw with a broad selection of ink colors available.

This classically modern styled pen has a "postable" cap that screws onto either end of the pen. Close it to protect the nib for storage or "post" it to the back of the pen if you like the weight and balance this confers or leave it off according to your preferred feel. (Personally, I prefer the top not posted - see photo for both positions.)

When you purchase this pen, you will get:

* a beautiful unique fountain pen worth adding to your collection
* a colorfully elegant smooth-writing pen
* a medium tip Irridium Germany nib
* a refillable ink "converter" cartridge
* a velvet pouch for storing and wiping clean your fountain pen
* gratitude from a rough-handed artisan who always prefers to write with fountain pens whenever possible

Please note that the Ivory and White Line pen pictured above is a bit closer to yellow (very slightly lighter) than the almost orange-ish color - I was not able to get the lighting right no matter how I tried. Rest assured that it is a beautiful color.

About the nibs: I have seen several sellers of pen kits state that the nibs stamped with "Irridium Point Germany" that come standard with pen kits that we all use are made in Germany and are made of irridium (a very hard metal alloy), which is not true. However, the nibs of these pens can be removed (indeed, you may wish to do this periodically to clean your nib and ink feeder if you do not use it often as ink may dry and impede the smoothness of flow) and replaced with nibs that are made in Germany (as mentioned above, Bock and Jowo nibs are made in Germany for many brands of pens). This gives you the possibility to find nibs that suit your particular writing preference.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like me to replace the standard Medium point nib with another; there will be surcharge for this as nibs can cost from $10 to well over $100 each. Delivery will depend on availability of specific nib selection.

Note also that the paper you use can make a big difference in your writing with a fountain pen - some papers are more suited to fountain pens than others. Let me know if you have questions.
