TWSBI Classic Fountain Pen - Burgundy
TWSBI's belief is that it is important to allow the user to disassemble and reassemble the pen and completely experience the traditional aspects of owning and using a fountain pen. These pens also come packaged with a wrench and silicone grease. Neither of these accessories are intended to be used immediately, as they are for long-term care and maintenance. Additionally, please use extra care if you choose to disassemble the nib and feed, as the feed is very fragile.
Warning: this pen should not be cleaned with any form of alcohol or acetone, or it will break down the plastic used in the pen.
