Need bottled ink or refills?

 

#205 Chrome    $25.00   

A classic silver/gold color contrast, that always looks classy.

 

 

 

#305 Chestnut Brown    $25.00   

I had a hard time capturing the true appearance of the pen with my scanner. It's has a chocolate-brown base, with tendrils of darker brown or black.

 

 

#405 Turquoise    $25.00   

It has a 'cloud-like' mixture of black and medium turquoise 'splotches'. It's a little bluer and lighter in color than my scanner was able to capture. 

 

The Uranus 'NJF' series of pens is comprised of 3 diminutive models which are designed to help you get where you're going! Measuring 4-1/2" capped, and a smidge over 5" posted, these slender lovelies will not only help you write a record of your journey through life...they just may help you find your way with their cap-top compasses!

The barrel and cap of the pen, whether chrome or lacquer finished, are of a subtle ribbed design (difficult to see in the photos), which provides an interesting texture in the hand. The gold-plated highlights of the cap band, center band and barrel bottom provide a very nice contrast to each finish. The knurled center band not only serves as a striking visual design element, but also provides a secure grip when writing.

The curvaceous clip incorporates the Uranus 'Star' logo, which is reprised numerous times around the cap band. The clear dome atop the cap houses the floating compass, which is marked 'E', 'S' and 'W', with a little red triangle for north. The directions are further subdivided by 4 white bars, separated the cardinal directions.

Removing the cap (which clicks into place, both when re-capping and posting), reveals the cobra-style gold-plated nib, in a European fine. The nib is simply, and elegantly, engraved with the Uranus Star logo. Unscrewing the all-metal fittings of the section/barrel displays the permanently affixed pump-style filler. The partially open sac is surrounded on 2 sides by the metal squeeze bars for filling, but open on the other two sides to allow visual inspection of the ink reserve.

The pens come in a lovely coral blue, velveteen Uranus gift box, with an outer Duke (the parent company) sleeve.

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors  -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.

The only 100% guarantee of course comes when the pen is actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

Warranties and returns

If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment.

Should you wish to return a non-defective item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit you for some reason, again please email us and we'll arrange an exchange, credit or refund (minus any shipping/insurance charges), if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition. If you've dipped a fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean off any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty surprise .

We want you to be happy with your purchase from His Nibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
