Red Koi Fish Platinum #3776 Celluloid Fountain Pen

£395.00
SizeBroad

A pen which combines both very good looks and high performance writing - for what could be the perfect writing companion.

The model here presented is a Platinum 3776, first produced in 1978, the Japanese company's flagship model, with a Koi Fish pattern celluloid body.

Platinum, alongside Pilot and Sailor represents today the Holy Trinity of excellence in writing utensils. The main and defining reason for this accolade is the fact that all three companies supervise their production from beginning to end within their very own factories. No subcontracting ensures total quality control, and private ownership protects their original vision and enthusiasm for pen making. Platinum's specialty is for the quality and originality of materials used, producing some of the most beautiful pens out there. Its management is nothing if not passionate, willing to experiment and innovate, while operating any a very high level. In fact Platinum’s sister company Nakaya is the pinnacle of exclusivity and luxury and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…

The specific model presented here is made from celluloid, one of the earliest thermoplastics which is becoming an extinct base material for pen making - regretfully as it has beautiful density, shine, weight and of course features the most vibrant and sometimes psychedelic patterns. Today it is used only in a handful of industries including luxury spectacle making. The production of celluloid in Japan has nearly now entirely stopped - making this model harder and harder to get hold of and made in very small quantities by Platinum.

When choosing the nib size, please bear in mind Japanese nibs run on the finer side - in comparison to European ones.

Made in Japan

We do not recommend posting this pen as it can make marks on the barrel. Celluloid is sensitive to heat and should not be placed near a source of heat such as a radiator or in very hot weather as it can warp. Do not use any abrasives or chemicals to clean the pen, do not take apart. All repairs should be carried out by an authorised Platinum repair agent only.
