The 14 carat gold nib is marked as a number 15, equivalent to a European number 6 – it is a big nib.

The vacuum filling system is a strong selling point.  It is simple to use and gives an ink capacity of 2.2ml – enough for extended writing, when you will have to unscrew the end cap to release the piston, allowing ink to flow.  Conversely, when screwed tight no ink will flow, a great benefit when travelling.

And we’re utterly delighted to be able to sell it at last!
