Metal Fountain Pen, Gold Fretwork Barrel

Quick answer: this metal fountain pen has a gold-tone fretwork barrel, a black cap and a gold clip. The supplier lists an iridium nib with a 0.7mm broad point and a twist-action converter for ink. It suits someone who writes with a fountain pen and wants a bolder line.

What the metal fountain pen is made of

The metal fountain pen has a metal shell, according to the supplier, and weighs about 46g (supplier figure). The barrel is cut with a fretwork pattern in a gold tone, and the cap is black. The clip is gold-tone.

What nib the fountain pen gift has

The nib is iridium (supplier stated) with a 0.7mm broad point. A broad point lays down a wide, bold line, so it suits signatures and everyday notes more than small handwriting.

How the fountain pen takes ink

The pen fills through a twist-action converter, which draws ink up from a bottle. The converter shows in the product photos beside the pen. The listing does not include a bottle of ink, so you need to buy your own.

Who the metal fountain pen suits as a gift

The pen suits a man or woman who already writes with a fountain pen, or who wants a desk pen for signing documents. It is sold as a pen on its own, so for a present you may want to add a bottle of ink and your own box. For other ideas at a similar price, see our gifts for men under £50.
