Our mechanical pen is precision-engineered to feel weighty and balanced in the hand, while its smooth, pressurised cartridge refill ensures every stroke is consistent and controlled. Built to withstand daily use, it’s a tool designed to last a lifetime and to make writing feel as deliberate as it should be.

The Black Steel version is finished with an ultra hard, scratch resistant 4µm tungsten carbide layer which is 9x harder than stainless steel, and usually reserved for high performance cutting tools.

Details

Metal: Aerospace-grade 303 stainless steel from Europe, CNC machined in Birmingham, UK. Tungsten carbide carbon finish applied in Cambridge, UK.

Cartridge: Fisher Space Pen® PR4 Pressurised ink cartridge from Boulder City, US.

Packaging: Waxed cotton sleeve from Halley Stevensons in Scotland + a cork pen rest from Portugal.

Finish: Laser engraved, assembled by hand and packaged in London, UK.

Weight: 48g (1.7oz)

Dimensions: 10mm (0.37”) diameter, 117.5mm (4.63”) length

Cartridge: Black Fisher Space Pen® PR4 cartridge included, can also fit Schmidt Megaline 4889

Inscriptions: Max 35 characters

Engraving: All inscriptions are in capital letters and run along the length of the barrel

Considerations: The Black Steel pen retains all the precision and corrosion-resistant qualities of stainless steel, while the tungsten carbide finish increases the surface hardness 9x. Any marks it picks up from regular use should be easily wiped away. However, the surface is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Anything harder than the surface (diamond, some ceramics) or really aggressive use will be able to scratch it, which is why we recommend keeping it in its cotton sleeve when not in use, and carrying your diamonds in another pocket.

Reviews

Writing instruments for my life & beyond

I’ve purchased a good few items from Wingback over the years but I think this might be my favourite! Everything from the feel, weight & writing experience is just fantastic. The Racing Green colourway is just the icing on the cake, Everything about it tells me I’ll be long gone & able to pass this down for a future generation to enjoy (although I of course fully intend to enjoy it for as long as I can!)

I’d also like to call out the superb customer service from Wingback. Helpful throughout the process & quick to supply answers to a couple of the questions I had. Great experience all round.

Hi Si,

Thank you for your lovely review.

So glad to hear you are enjoying your British Racing Green Mechanical Pen and that you have added to your Wingback collection. I'm sure future generations are going to love it!

I will also be sure to pass on your kind words to the team

Have a lovely day!

Great build, disappointing refill

The build quality of this pen is outstanding. I like the size and the weight. However, it’s a very expensive pen with a very ordinary refill. If the Fisher refill was as smooth as Mont Blanc, Ciaran D’Ache or Parker, this would be the best pen of all.

Hi GFWP,

Thanks for the feedback, we did add more cartridge capabilities on our new design if you prefer a wider range of G2 options. The Titanium version will be back online in the coming couple of months if you'd like to try that out.

Thanks again!

Great product

The wingback pen in brass is a comfortable pen to use and just feels extremely high quality. I have all had many compliments on the pen since using it and moving forward this will now be my everyday pen.
Would recommend to anyone.

Hi David,

Thanks for sharing your experience, so pleased to hear you're impressed with your pen!
