Description
The Opus 88 Demonstrator fountain pen is truly unique writing instrument. Featuring a sharp alternating material scheme of ebonite and resin, this pen’s design stands on its own.

Roland –
Dieser Füller ist vergleichbar mit Pelikan 1000. Natürlich ist das Feeling beim Schreiben mit der weichen Goldfeder des Souveräns angenehmer. Aber das Resultat sieht mindestens genau so gut aus. Zusammengefasst ein perfektes Arbeitsinstrument mit aussergewöhnlich guten Eigenschaften und einer Feder, die einfach immer das tut, was uns am wichtigsten ist: Schreiben ohne Aussetzer!
Eigentlich bin ich gegen das Online-Einkaufen. Bei Füllern und Appelboom mache ich eine Ausnahme! Perfekter Service!

My new favorite!
Huge ink capacity, eyedropper filling with an adjustable back valve make it an ideal travel pen. Ink supply is visible even in my red one. Follow the instructions and leave the rear twisted open slightly to ensure smooth ink flow.
The F nib is neither a wet nor a dry writer and it writes smoothly without scratchiness. The nib is firm, not flexible, in a pleasant way.
Another plus: it takes the Jowo or Edison #6 nibs. You can experiment with stub and broad nibs, even a gold nib, without investing in multiple pens.
Its circumference and length, unposted, make it very comfortable in my small hands. It’s not too masculine and its chic appearance in this fairly dark red make it suitable for a more formal office.
I avoid non-posting pens, but this is long enough without the cap for that not to matter. You can hand it to someone without the cap and they are unlikely to walk away with an uncapped fountain pen.
Strongly recommended.
