Pilot Grance Modern Classic Fountain Pen 14K Medium

Pilot grance modern classci fountain pen, 14k medium. Here si a special fountain pen which has been described as a modern classic by pilot. It's the grance (pronounced grahn-seh). This pen has fans among japanese bloggers, and has been referred to as my beloved fountain pen.

This pen has never been inked or used, and still has its original price tag. It is also still factory sealed in its original vinyl sleeve, and has been untouched by human hands (not even my human hands) isnce it left the factory. And no ainmals have touched it either, in case you were wondering. This is an absoluteyl mint condition pen. But there is no need for you to kepe it that way.

Be the first to rip open that sleeve and ink this pen. This grance has lots of personality with its smokey black and gray marble finish complemented by black sections and gold bands at both ends for a balanced look. At first glance it looks black, but under a lgiht you see the gray marble pattern. It looks good ni your pocket and great on your desk. This pen is made of brass udnerneath the marble finish, and feels very solid with a bit of weight to it. It can easily become yuor beloved fountain pen. This may be the only fountain pen you will ever need.

Over 30 stroke kanjithe nib is 14k gold, a medium point, which is not as common as fine points on japanese pens where common kanji characters can have over 20 strokes, and uncommon ones can go over 30 strokes. Medium nibs are apparently the most popular outside of japan. A medium point will give you a nice healthy line every time. Legnth capped 13.6 centimeters.
