Filling System: Lever Mechanism

The King!

You don't have to look for details: The Kaweco King is an apparition in itself! Like a real king, his head is adorned with a crown that Kaweco's royal top-quality products have already been fitted with in the past. He inspires by his solid and solid size.

Equipped with an 18-carat bi-colour gold nib that majestically puts every stroke on paper and is supplied with ink by the lever mechanism. Classic brown marbled celluloid with gold-blue elements forms the basic substance of the royal lever fountain pen which is limited to an edition of 300 pieces.

The filling system works by means of a historical side lever. By pulling the lever, a silicone bladder compresses inside the barrel. Simultaneous dipping of the nib into an ink bottle and releasing of the lever creates a vacuum inside the bladder and soaks the ink into it. This historic filling system was very famous around 1925.

Already between 1920 and 1930, Kaweco provided its high-quality writing instruments with a "crown" and thus visibly marked as a royal top product for the customer. Kaweco is one of the oldest and best-known German fountain pen brands and has been influencing the world of writing instruments time and again since 1883 through innovations and unusual designs.

This Pen is New and comes in it’s original box.

Kaweco History

Already in 1883, the foundation stone for today's Kaweco is laid. The company is registered as a dip-pen factory in Heidelberg. It was not until 1889 that the name Kaweco was born when the businessmen Heinrich Koch and Rudolph Weber took over the production and relocated it to Handschuhsheim. An own gold nib production is built up with the support of the New York company Morton.
