Opus 88 Jazz Fountain Pen - Solid Black
This Opus 88 Jazz fountain pen in Solid Black has a black barrel and cap, and is accented by black hardware. This large postable pen is an eyedropper-filled fountain pen with a piston operated shut-off valve. It has a silver stainless steel #6 JoWo nib and includes a glass eyedropper to fill the pen with your favorite ink.
An ebonite piston and rubber gasket seals the feed off from the barrel when fully depressed, reducing the risk of leakage and burping. By unscrewing the blind cap and loosening the rod at the rear of the barrel, you open up the ink flow to the feed. During long writing sessions, leave the shut-off valve open to take advantage of the impressive ink capacity. An ink window allows you to see your remaining ink in the barrel.
Note: JoWo is transitioning their nib designs from the old scroll pattern to a more simple design. Stock is currently mixed; what you receive may not necessarily match what is photographed.
