PARKER JOTTER
WATERMAN EXPERT
The Parker Jotter line has been updated to include a new clip while keeping the distinctive Jotter ‘click’ sound. Communicating quality and craftsmanship, the Jotter stands as an authentic design icon of the last 60 years.

Ten Grail-Worthy Pens
Visconti Homo Sapiens
Pilot Custom 823
Sailor King of Pen
Pelikan Souveran 800/805
Leonardo Officina Ltd. Ed. Celluloid
Aurora 88
Namiki Yukari
Cross Peerless 125
Aurora Optima
Pilot Custom Urushi
Forged from the basaltic rock of Mt. Etna, the volcanic material of the Visconti Homo Sapiens captivates writers with its moisture-wicking, hygroscopic body. The power-filling mechanism loads the pen with bottled ink. Visconti recently changed the nib on the Homo Sapiens from 23kt palladium to 18kt gold.
The vacuum-fill Custom 823 is a hardcore writer’s dream come true. The supple 14kt gold nib performs smoothly with a rich flow supplied by the massive capacity of ink in the barrel. Nervous about the possibility of ink burping? The 823’s filling mechanism can be closed down to restrict the ink flow, preventing the pen from expelling ink due to air pressure changes. Unscrew the blind cap to keep your thoughts flowing beautifully from this generously sized and well-balanced pen.
In the wild world of fountain pens, the Sailor King of Pen reigns as the largest 21kt gold nib. The grand size of this pen makes a perfect fit for larger hands. The King of Pen provides an exceptionally smooth line and fills by Sailor proprietary ink cartridges or converter.
Considered the flagship of Pelikan’s Souveran line, the large, sumptuous 18kt gold nib installed on the M800 has a beautiful art deco design that is distinctive and elegant. Glassy smooth with rich ink flow, the M800 nib is a beautiful example of Germany’s finest pen craftsmanship. The M800 also sports a brass internal piston mechanism that flawlessly pulls up a wealth of ink inside the barrel, adding a significant heft that feels great in your hand.
Italian celluloid is one of the most precious pen materials on the planet. It takes months to cure, forming a deep, lustrous color with a chatoyant (cat’s eye) effect. Leonardo Officina crafts their limited editions using beautiful celluloid. Each Leonardo limited edition is fitted with a 14kt gold nib and ebonite feeder that fills by an internal piston mechanism.
A classic pen originally designed in the 1950’s by Marcello Nizzoli, the “88” has a rounded, cigar profile with a vintage-style cap band, piston-filling mechanism, ink window, and a gold nib - all made by Aurora in Torino, Italy. The “88” collection comes in a variety of finishes, including limited editions fashioned in marbled auroloide resin.
The Pilot-Namiki Maki-e fountain pen is almost too beautiful for words. Japanese artisans use age-old techniques to hand-apply lacquer and gold dust, transforming pens into works of art. The Yukari writes gracefully with an 18kt gold nib that fills using the Pilot CON-70 converter.
For the aficionado that desires a heavyweight pen with an attention-getting finish, the Peerless 125 is set apart from other pens of this caliber. At the heart of the Peerless fountain pen is a world-class 18kt gold nib from Sailor, Japan.
The piston-fill mechanism, ink window, and gold nib of the Aurora “88” are also key components of the Optima fountain pen. Men and women feel at home with the compact design of this flat-ended pen. Select from a variety of limited editions fashioned from luxurious materials.
If you thought the 21kt gold nib on the Sailor King of Pen was big, check out the No. 30 size 18kt gold nib of the Pilot Custom Urushi. Pilot fits the large nib on the tremendous body of this fountain pen. The barrel and cap are lacquered, cured, and polished multiple times to create a sublime finish.

A NEW GENERATION OF FOUNTAIN PENS An Interview with Salvatore Matrone A new, innovative collection has hit the markets and it is just breathtaking! If you haven’t seen the new collection from Leonardo Officina Italiana then you are missing out. Salvatore Matrone founded this amazing and unique brand featuring handmade pens so that no two pens are the same. If that name sounds familiar to you, that is because Salvatore is the son of Ciro Matrone who was one of the founders of Delta Pens. Salvatore Matrone took a part of that heritage with him as he created his brand, Leonardo Officina Italiana. The first collection is called Momento Zero, meaning “a new beginning” for the company as well as a new generation of pens from the Matrone family. The new collection features a classical design with exclusive materials like celluloid, ebonite, wood, special resins, bronze and precious metals. The materials undergo special treatments as to preserve the pen so it can be passed down from generation to generation. Goldspot: What inspired you to create this collection? Salvatore Matrone: Passion, that is the key word! The growing passion for old “vintage” pens and the Italian style are irreplaceable in this modern world. “Italian vintage” means that the design of our pens is inspired by the classical masterpieces that were created in the ‘30s and ‘40s, Italy’s Golden Years. Italy was famous for the design of their pens. Designs such as the shape of the cap made like an open umbrella inspired the whole world to create pens with well-balanced size and details that comes from the combination of tradition and innovation.
GS: What made you continue the family tradition? SM: It is impossible for me not to live in the world of fountain pens. I was born and raised in the pen world so when it was time I started working with my father, designing many collections. I am the author of many successes like the Capri Collection, Magnifica Almalfi, Enrico Caruso, Giacomo Puccini and many others from Delta Pens. I have learned all the secrets within creating and designing pens from my father, we are the perfect team: design and craftsmanship for the perfect result. GS: What would be the most important aspect of making pens that was passed down to you? SM: Two of the main aspects that was passed down to me is the materials and design of the pens. People are inspired by quality, so a pen that is created using resin, celluloid, or ebonite causes a buzz within the pen community as these materials will preserve the original delicate features of the pen for generations. We want the design of the pens to be bright from the resins without adding too much metal so the original beauty of the materials is observed. One of the coolest aspects of these pens is that every single detail is obtained by hand, all the pieces are turned from solid bar and therefore not obtained from the mold. This allows us to be very flexible as we can create small special collections customized for our customers, for an anniversary or a special occasion. This aspect makes us special and we are appreciated for it. We are experts about nibs and filling systems, my father has revived many filling systems: lateral level, button filler, piston etc. GS: What can we expect from you in the near future? SM: We are currently searching for new quality resins and materials to experiment with for our future collections. As of right now, I have several projects I am working on which include materials like Italian wood as well as transparent resins. By the end of the year, there will be three new collections and many new additions to the Momento Zero and Furore Collections but I’ll keep that a surprise! • • •

Now you see it, now you don’t. The Pilot Vanishing Point, also called the Capless, is the world’s best-known retractable fountain pen. The nib appears and disappears with the quick click of the button on the back-end of the pen. There are no caps to be had here, just the convenience of one-handed operation, mimicking the retraction mechanism of a ballpoint pen. The part that makes this pen so unique is the complex mechanism behind the effortless click-action. Pressing the push button on the back-end of the pen opens a spring-loaded door at the business end of the pen, revealing the tip of an 18kt gold nib that patiently waits to perform. For some writers, holding a Vanishing Point can take some getting used to. The pen’s clip is positioned to start at the tip area where fingers would grip the pen. The design of the pen anticipates that your fingers would hold the pen on either side of the clip, but if that is not your writing grip style, then you may be fighting with the VP’s protruding clip. The Pilot Vanishing Point is a cartridge/converter filling fountain pen that uses proprietary Pilot/Namiki ink cartridges and the CON-40 twist converter. Replacement 18kt gold nib units are available separately if you wish to switch your writing point size without buying a brand new pen.

The quickest and easiest method that is mostly mess-free. Insert the cartridge into the pen section until you feel a small pop. Then, you can wait for the ink to fully saturate the feed or prime the pen by squeezing the attached cartridge. Once the cartridge is empty, it can be disposed of or refilled with a blunt needle syringe.
Converter A converter is like a refillable cartridge. It utilizes a screw or pull-action to move the piston inside. The suction created by the piston moving from the front-end of the converter to the back will draw up the ink. The standard international Schmidt K5 converter is the most widely used. However, many variants may be proprietary and only fit in certain types of pens.
Piston Fill Before the invention of the cartridge/converter, all fountain pens were “self-filling.” The piston mechanism, pioneered by German pen manufacturers in the early 20th Century, remains as the most popular internal filling mechanism for modern pens. The piston-fill fountain pen operates similar to a converter. Instead of twisting the knob of the converter, the user activates the internal piston by twisting the blind cap on the end of the pen barrel. Modern piston-filling pens tend to be designed to see through with a translucent body or built-in ink window to see the remaining ink in the pen.
38
GoldspotCatalog2020.indd 38-39
Eyedropper Fill One of the oldest pen-filling methods is the eyedropper. Ink is dropped directly into the barrel of the pen. Eyedropper fill pens have the highest ink capacity. Manufacturers like OPUS 88 design their pen to prevent leaking and ink burping with additional o-rings and a shut-off valve. While it is possible to convert some cartridge/converter pens into eyedropper fill, one should do so with great care to ensure the pen will not leak.

More commonly found in Japanese vintage fountain pens, the valve regulates the ink flow to prevent ink burping on the page.

Opus 88 Demonstrator Grey
Cartridge
This one-stroke filling mechanism operates using air pressure built by the movement of the piston rod. The ink capacity is higher than a typical piston-fill pen and the drawing of the ink is quicker. To fill, unscrew the blind cap of the pen barrel and pull the piston all the way to the back of the pen. Fully submerge the nib into a bottle of ink and press the plunger down all the way. At the very bottom, the air pressure built in the chamber releases and a vacuum causes the ink to flood upward into the pen barrel.

Most fountain pens manufactured today use the convenience of the adaptable cartridge/converter filling system, giving the writer a choice between installing pre-filled ink cartridges or filling from bottled ink. As you explore the different brands of fountain pens represented in this magazine, you encounter more types of filling mechanisms. Here’s a quick guide to explain how each filling mechanism works with their advantages and disadvantages.

FABER-CASTELL LOOM
Montegrappa Elmo $180.00 (ISGIR3IT001)
Cross Classic Century $48.00 (AT0085-125)
The Faber-Castell Loom collection is characterized by luminous colors and an puristic elegance. Its grip section features fine rings and a subtle curved form. The Loom is a great looking pen at an extraordinary price. Pilot Custom 74 $159.95 (P13345)
Starting at $24 Shop the full collection at Goldspot.com/loom Ballpoint, Rollerball & Fountain Pen
FABER-CASTELL AMBITION This range exemplifies Faber-Castell’s aim, which is to incorporate unique materials with a fresh writing experience. Precious resin, coconut wood, pear wood, and stainless steel are all materials you will find in this collection. Their take on a resin pen is also unconventional. Instead of a polished resin, Faber opts to givt it a brushed or patterned finish in their OpArt set of bold resin colors. The Ambition is regularly available as a twist-action ballpoint pen, 0.7mm mechanical pencil, rollerball pen (with cap) and fountain pen (with cap). The fountain pens are fitted with a stainless steel nib in extra-fine, fine, medium or broad point. They include one international size ink cartridge to start and can fit an international standard converter (not included).

KAWECO CLASSIC SPORT Inspired by the compact design that originally debuted in 1935, the Kaweco Sport is enjoying a renaissance as a portable, everyday carry writing instrument. Made in Germany with injection molded resin, the Sport design has a faceted cap that keeps the pen from rolling when set down, if you’ll ever set it down. The fountain pens are fitted with a stainless steel nib and are filled using international ink cartridges or a special Sport piston converter (sold separately).

The compact size feels just right in your hand, 4.1” long (104mm) and just over 1/2” in diameter (14mm). Made from tough, but exceptionally lightweight ABS plastic, this is a pen (or pencil!) made to last.

KAWECO AL SPORT The AL Sport series can be called a real survivor. The traditional, pocket-friendly design of the Kaweco Sport becomes even more durable when crafted from solid aluminum. The AL Sport is the next step up in trending styles, including a new deep crimson look and a pitch-black version with matching nib with a smooth matte finish that is a pleasure to hold.

RETRO 51 With scores of creative designs that draw inspiration from a wide range of interests, there’s a Retro 51 Torando for everyone. Whether you are a museum buff, Air Force enthusiast, coffee addict, wine lover, world traveler or cat/dog parent, Retro 51 has a pen for you. The majority of these retractable rollerball pens you see here use the smooth-writing liquid ink capless rollerball refill (REF5P) for a rich and fluid writing experience. The Tornado can also use Parker-style ballpoint pen refills (sold separately). In early 2019, Retro 51 introduced an improved fountain pen design with a Jowo #6 size nib and concave grip section. Select designs are available in fountain pen mode with a cartridge/converter filling system (both included). Every Retro 51 pen comes packaged in a handsome graphic cardboard tube, with exclusive artwork featured on special editions.

PERSONALIZATION & CORPORATE SERVICES Celebrate life’s milestones with an exceptional gift that the recipient will remember and cherish throughout their lives. Personalized pens are an excellent choice for their sophistication, usefulness, and homage to traditional values. Having the gift engraved leaves a lasting impression on the individual you are presenting the item to. Goldspot Pens can personalize most pens and organizers from our selection with initials, name, business logo or personalized message. We encounter a number of creative requests on a daily basis, most of which we can oblige easily. If you’re looking for a proper personalized pen, there are a few tips we can offer to help guide you in your selection.
GOLDSPOT EXCLUSIVES
Long name? Go for Initials : On most pens, we can engrave an average of 15-20 characters (including spaces) on the pen. A monogram (three initials for the first, middle and last name) would be more appropriate for longer names. Pick a font style that suits the person / pen : If the item has a modern look like a Lamy, go with a sans-serif font like “Block.” For a more classical pen like an Aurora Ipsilon, a serif font like “Times” would be more appropriate. See font style samples below.
Goldspot Pens doesn’t sell the same-old pens you can find just about anywhere. Through collaborations with top brands in fine writing, you can find a treasure trove of exclusive items at goldspot.com that you won’t find at other shops. We’ve highlighted several customer-favorites on this page. You can find more at goldspot.com/exclusives
To Period or Not to Period : From our 15+ years of experience with personalizing gifts, we have seen both ways where our customers request a period after initials, but they are usually omitted by 70% of our customers. The Phrase that Pays : We’ve done a large number of small phrases and messages on pens, and they are exceptionally effective at conveying a sincere, intimate message to the recipient. Try to keep the phrase under 20 characters. If it is over, and our website is not accepting the limit of characters, please do include the message in the “Special Instructions” section of our order form. Sometimes, we can accommodate a larger message in two lines or by including an engraved plate with the pen box.

Try Dating : If you’re celebrating a significant milestone like a wedding, graduation or retirement, personalizing the item with the date of the event would be a great idea. Shop our collection of pens that we engrave everyday to perfection at goldspot.com/collections/personalized-custom-pens Our engraver will typically select the font style that would best suit the pen, but if you have a specific request, please indicate your font style preference using the below styles for reference.
