Introduction

TWSBI – DIAMOND MINI AL

The TWSBI Mini AL comes with a benchmark piston ink-filling mechanism and has all detachable parts. Like many other TWSBI fountain pens, it features a crystal clear acrylic barrel so you can see your ink level, and a clear cap. It is enhanced with a silver aluminum grip section and piston mechanism. It is completed with silver trim and a silver stainless steel nib.

TWSBI’s belief is that it is important to allow the user to disassemble and reassemble the pen and completely experience the traditional aspects of owning and using a fountain pen. These pens also come packaged with a wrench and silicone grease. Neither of these accessories are intended to be used immediately, as they are for long-term care and maintenance. Additionally, please use extra care if you choose to disassemble the nib and feed, as the feed is very fragile.

You may notice a white substance on your 580AL or 580ALR pistons. This is bearing grease, and must not be removed during cleanings, or replaced by silicone grease.

The Mini now comes with Aluminum Parts!!

Piston filler type fountain pen. Comes in EF, F, M, B, stub1.1. Roughly the same height as an iPhone 5 when capped and stored away. Slightly longer when cap is posted on the pen (perfect length for writing when cap is posted on the back). About 1 inch shorter than a Diamond 580 fountain pen.

Please note: Ink is NOT included.A quick no brainer guide in choosing nib sizes in an overly complicated fountain pen world:

If you write small, go with an EF. For the normal writer, F is the most popular. If you tend to lean on a bigger font, M will be perfect. B is for statements!! Sign a check in B, write a header in B, do some coloring/shading in B. Stub nibs are italic in writing style.
