caption_attribution_description: English: Writing in Russian cyrillic script with a fountain pen. The #6 "Iridium Point Germany" nib is an affordable modern OEM nib of Asian origin. Only the tip is German made and it contains no Iridium as other modern nib tips. The tiny tipping pellets are soldered or welded onto a nib tip prior to cutting the nib slit and grinding the tip into its final shape and are made of an alloy containing Osmium, Ruthenium and Tungsten in a mix of other materials. Español: Escritura cirílica rusa con una pluma estilográfica. El plumín # 6 "Iridium Point Alemania" es un plumín OEM económico y asequible de origen asiático. Solo la punta es de fabricación alemana y no contiene iridio como otras puntas de punta modernas. Los gránulos de punta fina se sueldan o soldan en una punta de punta antes de cortar la ranura de la punta y moler la punta en su forma final y están hechos de una aleación que contiene Osmio, Rutenio y Tungsteno en una mezcla de otros materiales.

context_page_description: A fountain pen is a nib pen that, unlike its predecessor, the dip pen, contains an internal reservoir of liquid ink. The pen draws ink from the reservoir through a feed to the nib and deposits it on paper via a combination of gravity and capillary action. Filling the reservoir with ink may be achieved manually, via the use of an eyedropper or syringe, or via an internal filling mechanism which creates suction or a vacuum to transfer ink directly through the nib into the reservoir. Some pens employ removable reservoirs in the form of pre-filled ink cartridges.
