SHORTCAP, fountain pen made of brushed nickel silver with oak inlet, handmade
Elegant and noble - with a special eye-catcher. The SHORTCAP fountain pen shows what it has. The shorter flap reveals the ribbed grip zone and gives a clear view of the precise, handcrafted design of this high-quality writing instrument. The smooth longitudinal structure of the SHORTCAP is optically loosened up by looking at the vertical handle structure. The 0.5 mm deep grooves are cut into the material using a special knurling cutter and ensure safe nib guidance.
As a distinctive detail, the circular bases of the cap and fountain pen are filled with fine oak.
Geometrically clear and at the same time emotional, the SHORTCAP fountain pen looks particularly good in the office or in the negotiation room.
The nibs are considered the heart of a fountain pen. The nibs, exclusively embossed with the ELBWOOD logo, are made by JoWo Berliner Schreibfeder GmbH - one of the world's most renowned manufacturers of this rare art.
They are made of 18k/750 gold in the colors "yellow gold", "bicolour", "rhodium-plated", "rosé" and in four stroke widths:
-
Extra Fine (EF)
-
Fine (F)
-
Medium (M)
-
Wide (B)
and stainless steel in the colors: "yellow gold", "bicolour", "stainless steel", "black" and with three line widths:
-
Extra Fine (EF)
-
Fine (F)
-
Medium (M)
The SHORTCAP fountain pen can be filled with either the supplied converter or standard ink cartridges.
Length: 15cm / diameter: 12.5mm / weight: approx. 53g
The nickel silver will change over time and with use. It tarnishes easily and develops the patina so popular with connoisseurs. If you don't like this, you can polish it up again at any time.
German silver contains nickel and is not recommended for people with "jewellery allergies". However, this is not a reason for complaint - I consciously choose materials with "obstinacy".
This fountain pen only gets more beautiful with age.
This edition of the SHORTCAP fountain pen is continuously in the program.
