Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen - Black Carbonesque
This iconic Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pen has a black carbonesque barrel with rhodium accents. This fountain pen comes with a retractable rhodium-plated 18k gold nib - just click to expose or retract the nib. A hidden trap door helps keep the nib from drying out when not in use.
A Pilot CON-40 converter is included with this pen, as well as a Pilot ink cartridge. A metal cartridge cap is also included for use with the ink cartridge.
Each Vanishing Point fountain pen is beautifully merchandised in a black gift box.
The Vanishing Point retractable fountain pen is a product rich in both history and performance. Its brilliant design and ingenious technology make it a pen for the new age. A larger size, durable metal body and attractive appointments make the Vanishing Point unmistakably unique.
