platinum 3776 century koi Special octagonal fountain pen

platinum 3776 century koi Special octagonal fountain pen, coded PIZ-70000S. This not your usual PTB-30000SR model, which is rounded and has an ugly line which joins the celluloid roll.

a description from platinum themselves " Our celluloid manufacturing method is not lased style.Board of celluloid sliced to 2mm thickness are pressed into the barrel shape

mould. This technique can describe beautiful patterns of celluloid evenly all the barrel, also can represent the deep celluloid color. This time we could make an octagonal shape fountain pen."

4 distinctive difference can be seen:

1) the body is octagonal, not round. The joint line is not found,

2) the nib is of a different design than the normal koi.

3) the pen cap metal ring is full metal instead of just a ring.

4) the price is almost twice the normal koi.
