This Kaweco Sport model is made from high-quality plastic, and has been fashioned in a beautiful Light Lavender for this COLLECTION edition. The pastel purple shade is a must for collectors and design enthusiasts with an appetite for that which dreamy yet functional. Silver elements such as the logo cap, embossing and nib round off the cool but soft purple shade perfectly. This pen is made of high-quality plastic and writes smoothly and beautifully without clogs in the nib. It is light and compact when capped (4.1 inches long) but very comfortable when posted (5.2 inches long). This pen comes with a fine nib. The pen can also be fitted with a mini converter which allows it to use bottled ink rather than cartridges. The pen comes with one unignited royal blue ink cartridge that is stored at the back of the pen. To access the cartridge, first unscrew the pen cap, then unscrew the front part of the pen body. You will find the unignited cartridge inside the pen body, which you can then insert into the front part of the pen body to ignite. The pen is presented in a matching Collector's Edition Light Lavender box.

Kaweco was established in 1883 outside Heidelberg Germany, although it was not yet called Kaweco and the design that is the most recognizable, Kaweco Sport, was not designed until 1911. A fountain pen that was not a heavy, expensive desk piece but rather lightweight and convenient was an innovation. Ballpoint pens, what we would think of as an analogy to this experience, were invented in 1888 but a reasonably functional design was not produced until 1938 and popularization came mostly after World War II, by then the Kaweco Sport was a classic as well as many other designs produced by Kaweco.
