Greetings! I’m selling my Franklin-Christoph 02 “Intrinsic,” featuring:


Uncommon Antique Glass (a.k.a. “Coke bottle”) resin. This is the no-clip version!
Jim Rouse stainless EF “Stub-Italic-Gradient” (SIG) #6 Jowo nib.
Upgraded Flexible Nib Factory (FNF) (https://flexiblenib.com/store/product/jowo-6-replacement-feed-and-housing-black-ebonite/) black ebonite feed/housing.


This is a hot rod of a fountain pen! The ergonomically excellent 02 made from the difficult-to-find (and not to mention extremely cool) “Antique Glass” resin. An EF Rouse nib has been paired with FNF’s custom ebonite Jowo feed and housing, which results in a slightly wetter and more consistent flow than the stock injection-molded Jowo feed and housing. (This is the converter-compatible version of the FNF feed. Converter is included with the pen.) This 02 is the version without a cap clip, which maintains the modern streamlined aesthetic.

This pen is built to write and performs well. Only flaw is some light blue staining in the section threads and the cap, acquired through gentle use with “safe” inks like Diamine and Waterman. (See photos below.) I have made an initial cleaning with a dilute ammonia solution, per F-C’s instructions. (It may be that an ultrasonic cleaner would do a better job. I don’t have an ultrasonic!) F-C confirmed that this is not unexpected with use, so keep that in mind! Also, note that this is the clipless version, so there is no roll-stop.

The sale includes the following:


FC 02 “Intrinsic” pen in Antique Glass w/ EF SIG stainless nib fitted to FNF's ebonite feed/housing.
Converter.
F-C zippered pen pouch.
Signed F-C card.
Original injection-molded Jowo feed/housing will be included at no charge (upon request).


Price is $189.

I also have available an additional custom Jim Rouse #6 stainless EF cursive italic (not a SIG) that can be added to the pen purchase for $17. This nib has the standard injection-molded feed/housing.

A couple of notes about this sale:


I’m selling the complete pen, and not selling either the nib or pen body/cap separately.
The pen is only being sold with the SIG nib. The CI is just offered as a possible add-on.
PayPal only to a verified Con-US address. (If you’re not certain whether you’re PayPal verified, you’re probably not!)
Shipping to Con-US via USPS Priority is included in the price. Buyer assumes responsibility once pen is shipped. Insurance for the full value available for an additional $2.50.
Remember this is a carefully used pen with some staining. (If you’re super concerned about stains, please don’t buy!)
No trades for this pen.

Thanks for looking!
