As a tribute to both Roy Conklin and the golden age of fountain pen manufacturing, Conklin's Heritage collection blends the best of vintage design with modern technology.
The Word Gauge takes the design of the original 'Nozac' (no-sac) series that was introduced in the 1930s and blends it with modern materials and manufacturing techniques to create a piston-filling fountain pen. 'Word Gauge' refers to the large viewing window, which is engraved with numbered gradations from 1000 to 5000, giving a rough estimate of the number of words that can be written with the remaining ink.
Handcrafted in Italy from solid bars of resin, the Word Gauge has a screw-on cap that can be securely posted on the end of the pen. The cap also features the famous Conklin 'rocker-style' pocket clip in chrome finish. The barrel is engraved with the model name.
