137C Cu Fountain Pen

The 137C takes its name from its capped length: 137 mm. Post the cap and it reaches 172 mm (180 mm in titanium), long enough to rest in the crook of a large hand.

Pure copper darkens to a deep, even brown as it meets the air and your hand. Polish it back to bright, or let it keep the record.
