** In our recent favorite combo, this is the Panther in black with a cathedral band. The cathedral acrylic has colors that harken stained class of the great cathedrals in reds, blues, greens, and yellows. Each band will be slightly different.
♦ The Panther is one of our oldest designs and one of our rarest production, only produced a few times a year.
♦ The Model 40 Panther fountain pen is a long capped pen at 5.5" when capped. There is a center taper in the barrel, so the length is only 6.5" (to the nib tip) when the cap is posted on the barrel. The cap diameter is 5/8".
♦ The barrel diameter is 9/16" at the thickest point and tapers down to 15/32" at the smallest point. The section is 1.11" long, and .440" at thinnest point, .460" at thickest.
♦ #6 Size nib - with many tip options in factory or custom ground.
♦ Cartridge - piston converter - eye dropper filling options. Barrel holds approximately 3.1ml of ink when eyedroppered.
