GRAF VON FABER-CASTELL Classic Anello Grenadilla (18K nib & converter) Fountain Pen

A warm interpretation of the Anello design 

The Classic Anello Grenadilla fountain pen combines the signature ring detailing of the Anello line with a barrel made from dark Grenadilla wood. This introduces a more organic, tactile character compared to the resin-based models, while still maintaining the precision of an 18k gold nib and easy to use cartridge/converter filling system.
