Where is the 100C CuBr made?

The 100C CuBr is machined from solid copper and brass and finished by hand at the STEX workshop in India. Its makers spent more than twenty years in the copper trade before making their first pen.

How big and heavy is the 100C CuBr?

It measures 100 mm capped and 140 mm with the cap posted. It weighs 55 g. The drawing on this page shows it to scale beside a bank card.

Can I post the cap?

Yes. Fit the cap on the end of the barrel and the 100C CuBr measures 140 mm, a longer writing length.

Which nib does it use?

A German Schmidt steel nib, with a Kaweco converter for bottled ink. Medium is standard; Fine and Bold are also available. Schmidt nibs are smooth, reliable and easy to replace.

Which ink does it take?

Any bottled fountain pen ink, using the Kaweco converter, or a standard international cartridge when you are travelling.

How do I care for the copper?

Wipe it with a soft cloth and let the patina grow. To bring back the shine, polish gently with a little lemon and salt or a copper cleaner, then rinse and dry. Keep cleaners away from the nib and grip.

How do I look after it?

Keep it capped when you are not writing, use fountain pen ink only, and flush the nib section with clean water every few weeks or whenever you change ink.

Which currency will I pay in?

Visitors in India see prices and pay in Indian rupees; visitors from every other country see prices and pay in US dollars. Checkout is handled securely by CCAvenue.

100C CuBr Fountain Pen, ageing over a year

Fresh from the lathe: bright, rosy copper with a mirror sheen. Every fingerprint shows, and that is how it begins.
