Contemporary rhodium-trim version of the classic Capless retractable fountain pen. Rhodium-plated 18K gold nib. The convenient, reliable push-button retract mechanism neatly seals the nib behind a shutter system, preventing drying out or leaks. However, the Pilot Capless is as renowned among fountain pen enthusiasts for the quality of its excellent gold nib as much as for the intriguing and innovative retract mechanism. Refill with Pilot IC-50 cartridges, or bottled ink with the supplied converter. The 18K gold nib is available in fine, medium or broad. The traditional fine 'medium' nib seems to be a more standard European medium these days, but the fine nib is still nearer to a European extra-fine. Weight 30gms, 141mm long retracted, 12mm barrel diameter. Supplied in a smart presentation box.
