Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Platinum Izumo Urushi Biwatame Fountain Pen, which comes with its wooden Platinum presentation box (including outer), pen kimono and information leaflets. The pen has barely been used and is presented in wonderful condition.
The Izumo is crafted from ebonite, which then has five coats of Urushi lacquer applied on top. Following this, three coats of wax-polish are applied, rubbed with pulp paper and then oil polished. The Biwatame name refers to a brown algae, with the base tone of yellow being visble at the edges of the cap, barrel and section... this base colour becomes more visible with the passing of time.
The pen is fitted with an 18k broad nib (the new style version!) and being a cartridge / converter (supplied), you’ve the best of both worlds when it comes to ink.
The important details are as follows...
- 18k Broad Nib
- Wonderful Condition
- Platinum Presentation Box
With every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us. We do this because our customers like to have documentation showing that it’s been purchased from a trusted seller.
