Condition and information:
The pen offered here is a rare version of the late 60's and early 70's Kaweco pens with a special KF, "Kugel" meaning ball in German. The specialty of this nib is that unlike other nib sizes, which have to be held to a particular angle towards the paper, this pen's nib can write on various angles. This allows for more easy and convenient use as well as fast use, i.e. a journalist needs to deploy the pen and take a note right away without looking down at the paper. The pen is high build quality, typical of the vintage Kaweco pens, with great ergonomic design where form follows function. All trimmings are gold filled, so gold ware off is unlikely. In Kaweco "V" line pens the "V" stands for semi hooded nibs, this feature protects the nib as its not entirely exposed. The nib is smooth precise F size, no overflow of ink, very clean writer leaving no mess on the paper. This is why this pen is great for writing in notebooks or similar needs, where small, sharp and clean typeface is needed. The piston works easy and takes an good amount of ink. The pen is simply quite efficient, practical, well balanced, with superb form factor, astonishing nib, and very reliable and easy to handle, with unique design and appeal. The pen is in absolute mint condition, 100% originally preserved, comes in its original vintage Kaweco presentation box.
