Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Briar - Light No. 04004.
Manufacturer and Year Nakaya, Japan -- probably recent, but Nakaya discontinued the Briar models in April 2022.
Length 5-3/4"
Filling System Nakaya (or Platinum) cartridge or converter fill. The pen is fitted with a converter.
Color This is the Light or "薄" version of the Briar wood. It is a nice red and yellow brown, with a black section. You can make out the wood grain and some of the imperfections in the wood. This is not the glossy version so it isn't covered with lacquer to smooth it out and make it extra shiny. Instead it looks more like a satin finish after extensive polishing. It has gold plated trim.
Nib Broad 18k nib. Smooth and very springy.
Condition Excellent condition. The briar wood looks really great with an even finish. There are some polishing marks on the trim and the cap band has microscratching. The pen ships with a Nakaya "kimono" pen sleeve, but no box or paperwork.
