Since 1898, the Conklin Pen Company has been renowned for its luxury writing instruments, blending timeless design with modern functionality. The Amber edition of the Duragraph, introduced in 1923, is crafted from premium European-grade resins, showcasing a rich amber finish. The Medium nib, engineered with precision by JoWo in Germany, ensures smooth and consistent ink flow, ideal for daily writing tasks. This pen is refillable with standard international cartridges or the included converter, and is compatible with Conklin fountain pen ink, Monteverde, Montblanc, Lamy, and more, allowing you to customize your writing experience. Review: Good quality, beautiful pen - This pen is a beautiful patterned amber or orange with black accents. It is semi-transparent, so the level of ink in the converter or in the ink cartridge is visible without having to open the pen. It is of very high quality. The medium nib writes well, and is more like a fine nib in how it writes rather than a medium nib, but it writes very smoothly and does not skip. I actually like the precision of the lines that it makes. The ink has not dried out and the pen writes immediately even if it is not used for several days. It's a great value. I highly recommend it. Review: Spoil Yourself A little - This pen has become one of my prized possessions, I take it everywhere, I receive compliments on it nearly every time I use it in a public setting. I am a songwriter, so I always have a pen and a pad with me to jot down ideas and those lines that pop into my head, I honestly find myself sitting at my local coffee haunt just doodling with this pen for the pleasure of using it, It is beautiful to look at, reminding me of a bygone era when things were made with care and quality. I love old watches for the same reason, Even the nib on this pen is beautiful to look at with its gold accents. It writes smoothly and is well balanced, however it is a large pen and if you post the cap on the back of the pen when you write it is long and a bit top heavy but the up side is that beautiful amber swirl and chrome trim of this pen catches everyone's eye when its sticking out far above your hand. There are more expensive fountain pens for sure, better? who knows. More beautiful? Unlikely, I cant remember when I have been happier spending $50 or under on anything. Do yourself a favor spoil yourself a bit and buy this pen, or one for someone you care about. The case it comes in is impressive and as beautiful as the pen itself. You can NOT go wrong with this pen. ## Features - Conklin Pen Company - A Legacy of Quality: Since 1898, Conklin has been synonymous with quality and innovation in luxury writing instruments.

Or the older silver and gold nib?** A: I bought mine last summer, and it does have the silver and gold nib... but that might not be the case NOW. Sorry I couldn't give you a more uptodate answer... **Q: I have heard that conklin change the type of nib used in this pen. does this have a jowo nib?** A: Conklin started using JoWo nibs a couple of years ago, so unless this pen has been sitting on a shelf somewhere for a few years now, I would assume that it has the new nib. However, I bought my pen about 5 years ago and it was using the old nib which I never have experienced any problems with. Either way it's a lovely pen and I don't see it being a problem. **Q: Still available? And is it cartridge-friendly?** A: Far as I know. Yes, I’m using Kaweco cartridges and it will take Mont Blanc and Waterman, as well. **Q: Is it a screw cap** A: Yes it is a screw cap over the nib and it posts by friction over the back. It is plastic so no need to be a gorilla, it might get stuck or worse. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, beautiful pen *by A***R on March 24, 2024* This pen is a beautiful patterned amber or orange with black accents.

I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spoil Yourself A little *by A***R on March 2, 2016* This pen has become one of my prized possessions, I take it everywhere, I receive compliments on it nearly every time I use it in a public setting. I am a songwriter, so I always have a pen and a pad with me to jot down ideas and those lines that pop into my head, I honestly find myself sitting at my local coffee haunt just doodling with this pen for the pleasure of using it, It is beautiful to look at, reminding me of a bygone era when things were made with care and quality.

I don't know if it's a full-on copy of Conklin's old Duragraph, but it's a well-executed throwback design. As a writer, the Duragraph holds its own against other pens in the $30-60 price class, and though I've read complaints about Conklin nibs this one wrote well out-of-the-box. It lays down a good, wet line with a nib as smooth as the Lamy Safari, Lamy Al-Star, Pilot Metropolitan, Sheaffer VFM, etc. The nib is steel and stiff... The converter threads into the feed, it doesn't just press in--a first in my experience. I prefer piston fillers for ease of filling and greater capacity. For that reason and for smoothness of writing action I rank the TWSBI Eco and Diamond 580 ahead of this pen. But TWSBI sets the bar high, and the Duragraph's no slouch even if it doesn't have the exquisite smoothness and huge reservoir of TWSBI. Buy this pen for its looks. It's a competent pen that, like the TWSBI, competes with more expensive pens--TWSBI on the basis of writing excellence, this pen on the basis of a classy throwback design. Though the Duragraph isn't a demonstrator, its celluloid barrel and cap permit glimpses of the working parts of the pen when the pen is closed. The cap posts, but barely. There's just enough purchase for the cap to teeter precariously off the back of the pen when in use. I don't care for the back-heavy feel, but at least it posts. If a cap doesn't post I find it distracting. The Duragraph's clip is stiff and attractive. It looks solid from the front, its back is concave. But the ciip's tear-drop bottom is elegant, and the whole is well-polished. Three trim rings are equally bright. Inside the section, the threads attaching the section to the barrel are metal. The cap itself attaches to the barrel by threads in the cellulose of barrel and cap. Buy this pen for its looks. For the price you can get between 3 and 20 Jinhaos that will write just as well. But they won't have the elegance of this pen. ## Frequently Bought Together - Conklin Duragraph Fountain Pen Amber - Medium Nib, Elegant Writing Tool with Warm Amber Finish - Scriveiner Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges - Black - 20 Standard International, Made in UK, The Best Cartridge for Your Scriveiner Pen, Refill Size Fits A Wide Range of Fountain Pens --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/14787018-conklin-duragraph-fountain-pen-amber-medium-nib-elegant-writing-tool](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/14787018-conklin-duragraph-fountain-pen-amber-medium-nib-elegant-writing-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
