Here we have Paul Rossi’s take on the early classic Parker Taper Cap Eyedropper fountain pen, made from Japanese ebonite and weighty sterling silver filigree snake overlay and synthetic jewel eyes. The pen is stamped 925 silver with the Paul Rossi makers mark, measureing 13.8cm capped, and fitted with a Parker 14ct stub nib, The pen is as new and shows little or no sign of use and is presented in a vintage case, a little tattered looking but it suits the pen.

The late Paul Rossi was one of the finest penmakers that I had the pleasure of meeting, as well as owing a number of his amazing pens.

The R A W Handmade Fountain Pen 1.1MM & 1.9MM Music Nib Options £195

I am often asked which pen is my favourite, or which pen I use the most. With so many pens in my own collection, it can be a hard choice. For the last four years for general daily use I have tended to use a hand made Ebonite fountain pen with a Japanese cigar shape profile, which is fitted with a 1.1MM or 1.9MM music nib. The nib has great line variation, smooth, fast ink delivery to paper and all in all very is satisfying writing experience. The pen can be used with a cartridge or converter, included, or you can put ink directly into the barrel as an old style eyedropper fountain pen.

I’ve sold and replaced my personal Ebonite fountain pen with the music nib four times in the last fifteen months, after friends and clients had tried it, and experienced the capability, writing quality, fun and expression of a music nib.

This is a large nib by any measure of comparable fountain pen nib sizes, and, as its name suggests, its fine and broad line attributes are well suited to music writers, Calligraphists, and people who just love to write with a particular style. Because of this interest, plus some arm twisting, I was persuaded to put together and offer for sale a small collection of this pen in various colours. The R A W pen was born.
