Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen – Violet
About Pilot Capless Decimo Fountain Pen – Violet
The unique Capless fountain pen, flagship of Japan’s Pilot Pen Company.
The Pilot Capless Fountain Pen was launched in 1964 in celebration of the Tokyo Olympics and provides the perfect combination of luxury and technology to the discerning fountain pen user. It is such a brilliant design that little has changed in the workings of this pen over the last 50 years! A simple cap end push-button is used to protract and retract the nib and when in the closed position, an ingenious airtight seal prevents the nib from drying out.
The Decimo fountain pen has a slightly narrower barrel than the standard Capless which some people find more comfortable. It features a high gloss pearlised finish, is fitted with an 18k gold rhodium plated nib, comes with polished chrome trim and can be used with either ink cartridges or a converter for bottled ink. One black ink cartridge and a converter are supplied with this pen which comes in a high gloss acrylic storage box.
