All metal parts have a high-quality rhodium plating. The pocket clip is spring-mounted.The fountain pen features a hand-made 18-carat gold nib, rhodium-plated. Nibs are run in by hand at the workshop. The pen can be used with either international standard cartridges or with bottled ink using the supplied converter.
