KW007 Kaweco Dia II (broad)

Date: c2010s

Size: Length: 132mm capped; 158mm posted

This lovely 1930s-inspired design pen is in near-pristine condition still, showing no signs of use.  It has a large domed top button with the Kaweco metal button inset into the top.  The cap has two slightly raised bands near the lip and a rather robust and sinuous pocket clip.  Around the back of the cap is the imprint "Kaweco Dia / Germany". The barrel has a knurled end that is unset with another metal Kaweco logoed button.  The original 1930s Dia pen would have been a piston filler, and this false blind cap is a nod to that.  The cap unscrews to reveal the broad-point stainless steel nib.  Unscrewing the barrel reveals the fitted ink converter.  You can also use standard International-sized ink cartridges in this pen.  

I can see absolutely no damage on this pen.  I did just dip the nib to get the writing sample below, and the nib writes very well with a good, juicy, broad-width line.
