Japanese solid brass fountain pen

A fine-nib fountain pen so reminiscent of a firearms cartridge it is impossible not to imagine the production stamps haven’t been adapted from this very purpose. From a small long established workshop in downtown Tokyo where each piece undergoes at least 10 separate pressings, between which it is annealed to relax any work hardening. Intended to scratch and develop a natural patina with use, especially if kept as proposed in a pocket or cluttered hand bag. Takes Universal cartridges.
