This pen matches the sport fountain pen in look and weight. The ballpoint mechanism works precisely and noiselessly. The high quality brass develops a natural and individual patina over time. Due to the pleasant weight, the pen leans into the paper with almost no pressure, allowing easy writing. 

1.0 mm ballpoint 
Length 4 1/4"  

Refills available hereSport pen clips available in silver and gold.

 

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.
