Update: The Fpn 2015 Le Blue Pearl Celebration Fountain Pen

[Tojusi]

Well, I have actually never seen a pen manufacturer list those, to be very honest. And so far we have not seen a review yet - that would be a bit difficult at these early stages.

 

Regardless, I weighed one of the pens for you:

- unfilled, entire pen: 29.4 grams

- cap: 7.6 grams

- pen, uncapped, unfilled: 21.8 grams

- filled, entire pen: 32.4 grams

- pen, uncapped, filled: 24.8 grams

 

I haven't got my calliper handy, so measurements will have to be with a ruler for now.

Length pen, capped: 142 mm

Length cap: 64 mm

Length pen, uncapped: 136 mm

Maximum thickness pen: 14.4 mm

Thickness section, minimum: 11.8 mm

Nib length protruding from section: 25.3 mm

Maximum cap thickness (excluding clip): 16 mm

 

All length and thickness measurements are approximate, obviously, but fairly close.

 

The interesting thing is that although the pen is, relatively speaking, fairly short for its size, only 6 mm longer than, e.g., the Etrurias LEs we did in 2012, the pen itself is significantly longer than the same, by a full cm.

 

HTH, warm regards, Wim

I thought that this is a standard flat top Kingsize bulkfiller- other than the material - measurements are on Conid web site. Not for section thickness or cap length though.

Thank you, Bill,

 

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful pen!

 

If you don't mind too much, I will refer people who are interested in this pen to your pictures here .

 

Warmest regards, Wim

I don't mind at all. When I post pictures here I do so hoping that they will be useful for the community.

In that case you won't mind that I will share them with the CONID Facebook group, with credits to you, ofcourse.

Wim, should this thread perhaps be locked as the other one ("Last chance before Christmas delivery") is more current?

Not a bad idea, Tojusi.
