Condition and information:
Offered here the triangular flagship 5715 fountain pen with rolled gold cap, this is a sub model of the 4383 base model. This is one of the best pens ever manufactured by Reform. The design and shape of the pen follows the style at the time, a very similar pen to Montblanc Mote Rosa pens, Senator and other pens. This pen has such a great grip, weight, feel in the hand that is rarely matched by other pens of this class. The pen has a great balance and handling, especially when posted due to the cap's weight. The nib is 14K 585 nib, F size, very smooth on the paper with a super flexibility. In such a nib the tines of the nib split apart as soon as it touches the paper, with little to no pressure. What this nib does is remarkable, it changes thickness of the lines with every stroke. Writing with such a nib is a pure joy, as from an F grade (fine) varies to medium lines to very wide double broad BB line and even wider, mimicking all nib sizes, it feel like writing with a paint brush. Piston is smooth with a silicone cork that never leaks. Extremely well build pen meant to last and endure hard work for decades, yet with great appeal, one of the best looking Reform pens ever made. This pen is in NOS new old stock condition, never used.
