BA057: Baoer No. 700 Calligraphy Pen.

Date: c2000s

Size: Length - 5 7/16 inches capped; 6 7/16 inches posted.

A very beautiful Chinese fountain pen.  This pen is new old-stock, and has never been used.  Needless the say there is no damage on this pen.  Both cap and barrel are metal based with a lovely frosted gold coloured finish. The cap has a large gold plated top button, and a good robust looking gold plated pocket clip l.  The cap body has a sikly textured fluted gold overlay that gives way to a polished cap lip band with the "BAOER" engraving at the front and the model number around the back.  The barrel end is tapered and gold plated, with the frosted and fluted barrel forward of that.  The section is made from a fluted textured resin that allows a good positive grip.  The steel nib is partly gold plated, and is a chinese calligraphy nib.  These nibs have an upturned end and they were with different line widths depending on the angle that the pen is held to the paper.  A steep angle will produce a narrower line and a shallow angle a wider line.  This is a cartridge/converter pen.  You unscrew the barrel to fit wither a standard international size cartridge or you can use the original standard ink converter that is already fitted.
