Weight
I would bet Giovanni would give you the exact weight of the pen and
compare it to the exact weight of one or two other well known modersn. I will say this. I have a Parker Big Red here and hefting the Filcao and the Big Red makes me bet that the Filcao is clearly heavier. Now I am hefting a MB 146 and this feels closer to the Filcao's weight. Now I am hefting a Legacy and the Filcao. The legacy is plastic barrel and metal cap and it is heavier than the Filcao. Now I am hefting an empty Pelikan 800 and it is heavier than the Filcao which is filled with ink. Sorry to be so inexact, but I do not have a scale that will do such small items. I bet if you post for a more exact weight someone will have a scale and be glad to check. John Cullen |

And I'll repeat the question I asked of JCC Are all of these values based on a capped pen? I don't post the cap on most pens so the weight of the body is the most important aspect. Thanks again, KCat. |

hello:
I was hefting them with caps on and filled with ink. I do think off hand the Filcao body without cap is heavier than the Parker Big Red without the cap.................and therefore heavier than the 200/400 Pelikan. jc |
