Diplomat Aero Fountain Pen - Blue
This blue Diplomat Aero fountain pen features a Zeppelin-inspired anodized aluminum body with groove-like depressions on the barrel and cap. It has a satisfying soft sliding click cap that posts securely onto the barrel when writing. It features a smooth writing #6 JoWo nib in your choice of silver steel or two-tone 14kt gold, a matte chrome grip and trim, and fills via standard international cartridge/converter (both are included).
As of April 24, 2019, the blue color is a bit darker than what was originally launched.
