GRAF VON FABER CASTELL ANELLO GOLD FOUNTAIN PEN

18Kt Bicolour MEDIUM NIB

"Barrel made of matt, gold-plated segments, separated by delicate, gold-plated metal rings resulting in a gleaming contrast. They create a pure appearance and lend their name to this series: "Anello" is Italian for "ring".On picking up this pen, you immediately sense its perfection. The contrast between the brushed and shiny gold-plated surfaces is captivating. In an elaborate work process the writing implements are crafted using the highest possible grade of gold-plating."

placed side by side with the Titanium version....


 









Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen - Crossed Lines (2018 Limited Edition)

-- a dark black lacquer surface makes contrast to the rhodium laser crossed lines pattern of the body.
-- a lustrous black barrel adorned with striking white crossing and converging vertical and horizontal lines. 

looks like the design baffled everyone. i was looking at the lines myself and although i kinda know the meaning to their number, thickness, point of intersections and break points, i shall just leave it until i get a veteran of pilot to confirm. in any case the lines on the body are not meant to be aligned, thus there are 2 versions; the ones that align, and the others that don't. depends on how you interpret, art isn't conform, yet it is.

this is one ballpoint pen which i like

1) full rubber body which does not turn sticky
2) new type nib and ink - ballpoint ink feel, but writes very smoothly.
3) retails at sgd $1.05.
