Platinum #3776 Century Bourgogne special edition fountain pen with stunning translucent wine red barrel. The Platinum #3776 Century range introduces the new 'Slip and Seal' airtight cap to the superb #3776 model. The innovative new screw-on cap system uses an inner plastic seal with a strong spring. The primary benefit of this system is improved storage ability - the ink will not dry out even if left for over a year. An added benefit is improved resistance to leaks due to pressure changes. Model no. PNB-13000. AS resin barrel with gold-plated trim. 14kt gold nib, rhodium-plated. '#3776' logo is engraved on the cap ring. The nib of the #3776 is a beautiful piece of work - made in-house at Platinum, and all are hand-tested at the factory. This nib and feed is the same as that used in the legendary Nakaya Urushi pens. Uses Platinum ink cartridges or fit a converter (available separately) for use with bottled ink. Platinum recommends Platinum Fountain Pen Ink, though of course any quality bottled ink can be used. Slip and Seal cap pens are compatible with Platinum Carbon and Pigment inks for everyday use. Weight 20.5g, 140mm long closed, 120mm open, 155mm posted. 15.4mm max. barrel diameter. The #3776 name comes from the height in metres of Mt.Fuji, the highest and most beautiful peak in Japan. Supplied gift-boxed.
