Since 1883, fountain pens have utilized various filling systems, with the piston mechanism remaining one of the most reliable methods for drawing bottled ink directly into an integrated reservoir. First introduced as a piston filler in 1937 under the model name #612, the iconic Kaweco Sport has evolved over decades while honoring this traditional mechanism. By drawing ink straight from a bottle into the internal chamber, it makes disposable cartridges obsolete, while a sleek transparent window allows you to monitor your remaining ink level effortlessly.
Expanding the colorful options of the Piston Sport AL series, the Solo Bordeaux/Gold edition features a deep bordeaux anodized aluminum body paired with radiant gold-plated accents for a rich, sophisticated aesthetic. The fountain pen comes equipped with a gold-plated stainless steel nib (size no. 5) available in five nib sizes ranging from extra fine [EF] to extra broad [BB], utilizing Kaweco's interchangeable 190 nib unit so you can easily swap nibs to match your personal writing style.
