AL Sport Fountain Pen Rose Gold Medium

First produced way back in 1911, the Kaweco Sport is among the earliest fountain pen designs still in use today.

Its pocket-friendly construction made the Sport an enduring favourite, and one that has expanded to include rollerball and ballpoint pens in that same iconic shape. Added to the range in the 1930s, the AL Sport fountain pen’s high-quality aluminium body gives the pen a finely-judged heft, and will age beautifully, developing a patina unique to each pen.

The pen is a compact 10.5cm when capped, making it a natural fit for a pocket or purse. When the cap is removed and posted on the end of the barrel, it extends to 13cm to fit comfortably in your hand.The hand-polished barrel feels smooth and light, with a secure screw cap and a stainless steel, iridium-tipped nib made by the Bock family of Heidelberg, Germany. An iridium tip protects the nib from abrasion by contact with paper, which is part of why Kaweco nibs are famous for their consistency, quality and durability.

This fountain pen takes standard international cartridge refills, or you can use the Kaweco squeeze-style converter with bottled fountain pen ink.
