We've used our Tiger Red material for many years, but this is the first time using it in the Model 46 fountain pen. Tiger Red is a dark red material with black "stripes" in it. The material gets a bit lighter red in the thinner spots. It's a typically subtle yet sublime look we enjoy in Franklin-Christoph.
♦ Dimensions:
.531" cap diameter
.500" upper barrel diameter
.438" lower barrel diameter
5.25" capped length
6.65" cap posted length (including nib)
4.95" barrel length (including nib)
.410" grip section at thinnest point
weight without ink = .65oz / 18.43g
♦ Takes a standard converter (one included). Ships with an F-C zippered pouch.
♦ Features our special block threads at the end of the grip section. These smoother feeling threads are out of the way of your fingers. Placing the threads at this spot also limits the amount of air within the cap chamber, thereby helping to mitigate dry out. The design of the block threads also releases the air when you unscrew so as to not create a suction effect on the ink.
♦ Each pen can be filled via long or short international cartridge, by converter, or via eye dropper. We recommend a little silicone grease on the threads if you use as an eye dropper.

♦ Precision posting - when capping the post, the angle of the end of the barrel matches the angle of the interior of the cap to make for a solid grip when posting the cap on the barrel.
♦ Made in USA of long lasting, durable hard acrylic that is light weight.
♦ Lifetime warranty.
