Description;

This is a very large and beautiful fountain pen. It was made in Japan around 1975 by Nakaya, the renowned Japanese pen manufacturers.

The pen is hand-turned from solid ebonite rod stock, which then has multiple layers of lacquer applied, before finally being finished with natural urushi resin. The process of  Aka-Tamenuri gives a deep red glow to the finish.

The standard Cigar has a diameter of 15mm, but this is the 17mm version, which adds a suprising amount of heft and shape to the pen.

The pen takes standard international size cartridges or a converter (supplied) can be fitted so that the pen can use bottled ink.

The pen is fitted with a wonderful large 14ct Medium flex nib which is described as "Wet and Bouncy". 

The pen is in excellent condition, the lacquer is faultless. It is supplied in its original box.

Condition:  Grade A
