The new Pelikan 625 Aubergine is crafted from a solid
block of transparent resin. The pen's body, while nearly
opaque is indeed a rosy transparent hue. Conversely, the
cap is crafted from intermixes of opaque resin appearing
as purple and sterling silver. The 600 Series of pens are the
middle of the road in size and weight, making them our
most popular sellers. The sterling adds slightly more weight
making this a perfectly balanced instrument for fountain
pen writing. The nib is 18k gold (plated with rhodium to
match the sterling). The fountain pen is a reservoir system
not allowing for the use of a standard cartridge. Also offered
are a twist-action ballpoint, roller ball and .7mm pencil.
