| For the writing instrument aficionado, nothing beats the pleasure of filling a fountain pen that has its own internal piston system. The lustrous pearlized orange and pure black classic colors are pure from the first glance at the exterior, but inside this Delta fountain pen is the large reservoir for ink. An amber ink-viewing window is visible even when the cap is posted so you may always be certain of your ink levels. Unthreading the blind end cap off the barrel reveals the heavy-duty knurled piston knob that is equipped with a ratcheting safety stop to allow you to know precisely when your pen is filled to the maximum. The central ring is hand-engraved sterling silver in a Pompeian olive leaf motif, and the clip features a wheel for smooth pocket clipping. Both the clip and the 18k gold nib are platinum-plated for exceptional brilliance. |
