We highly recommend this Kaweco AL Sport Fountain Pen Medium nib: the quality is excellent, it's durable and it's a little bit of pen-design history. First produced way back in 1911, the Kaweco AL Sport is among the earliest fountain pen designs still in use today.
The pen is very compact when capped - at 10.5cm it slips easily into a pocket or purse. When the cap is removed and 'posted' on the end of the barrel it extends to 13.3cm: a comfortable length for writing.
The hand-polished barrel feels smooth and light. It has a screw cap and a stainless steel, iridium-tipped nib made by the Bock family of Heidelberg, Germany. These nibs are famous for their consistency.
The Kaweco AL Sport Fountain Pen's (medium nib) high-quality aluminium body gives the pen a finely-judged heft, and will age beautifully, developing a patina unique to each pen.
This pen takes standard international cartridge refills such as Kaweco or J. Herbin or you can use the Kaweco squeeze style converter.
Designed and Made in Germany.
