Diplomat Cobra Fountain Pen

The Cobra follows the Viper, and it is a bigger, bolder pen in every sense. The guilloché engraving is cut deeper here, a scale pattern that you feel as much as see, and it gives the metal body real grip. Beveled finials and PVD trims against the matte finish do the rest.

The magnetic cap is the detail people fall for. It closes with a soft slide and a satisfying pull, and it posts if you prefer a longer pen in hand.

Inside is Diplomat's #6 stainless steel nib, the same unit fitted to the Excellence, in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, or Broad. It fills by converter or standard international cartridge. Made in Germany.

Available in Matte Black and Burgundy Red. Come try one at the shop before you decide on a nib width. That is what the pens on the counter are for.
