Up for sale is vintage fountain. I remember it is end of 1970-early 1980’s, discontinued model. Last photo is the publicity of that date, this is NOT included of course. Some wear, scraches, but in any way still works. I often use it for writing a lot. May be you know, this is first model of 3776, actually made with name “gathered “, reproduction of original MR. It is made, cooperated with heavy user writer : collector of vintage fountain pen. He writes heavy quantity, and h know what should be fountain pen is, so would like to try in one day his ideal fountain pen. Fortunately his dreams comes true with platinum company, with lots of aide of authentic heavy writer/ users opinions. So this is one, near original or base model of platinum #3776. For collector or for heavy writer, may be interesting one. In any way, later 3776 must have succeeded this model, and continue better one in these days. Size, length, balance etc are well inspected for making 3776. Just please note it is opinions of Japanese writers, length, balance, no slip with sweats, and big nib is necessary for heavy writers in Japan. This it may be not the same for foreigners writers as they have hands larger than us Japanese. This one is used one, and relatively good condition for use. I often write a lot, this pen helps me a lot and I know well it’s interesting, no slip and great size, balance for writer people. Umeda wrote about his collection of fountain pens of all over the world, heavy writer, his experiences for writing is much longer and heavier than platinum company craftsmen, thus their cooperation is interesting and made a foundation of platinum 3776 base. In the book, He wrote about his dream for making ideal fountain pen one day and possibility with his experience of writing. His book is really interesting, but only in Japanese, no translated. No space to introduce here. Platinum continue making new 3776 height of mt Fuji, as no. 1 in Japan, like Mont Blanc in France. Philosophy of 3776 is all included the basic idea of this fountain pen. Please note this is used and old model, material may not the same as recent 3776. But 3776 is started with a heavy writer with platinum company, it must be interesting!
