Kaweco first produced a Liliput fountain pen in 1910, originally in ebonite, a kind of super vulcanised rubber. Advertised as a safety pen for sports people, its precise engineering and tightly fitting screw-on lid meant it was less likely to suffer leaks when carried into the field. Today these pens are machined from aluminium and equipped with a stainless steel nib. As diminutive as their name might suggest and with a rounded capsule like form they will travel barely noticed in a pocket or purse, ready to use whenever they are required. 96mm long when closed, and 125mm in use. Provided with a single Royal Blue Kaweco Ink Cartridge, replacements are available in packs of 6, in Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Light Blue, Grey and Black.
