Anterique Ballpoint Pen End Piece Burgundy
The Anterique ballpoint barrel section in Bordeaux with gold-toned accent is the rear component of Anterique's two-part BP1 system. Together with an Anterique grip section (front part), it forms a complete ballpoint pen – a concept that enables individual colour combinations and the straightforward replacement of individual parts. The lightweight plastic housing sits slim and comfortable in the hand, while the rich Bordeaux with the golden clip gives the pen an understated elegance.
Features
- Two-part modular system: Barrel section and grip section (front part) are offered separately and can be combined as you wish – creating individual colour pairings from the entire BP1 colour range.
- Bordeaux with gold accent: A deep, dark reddish-brown with a matte finish, combined with a gold-toned clip – a colour pairing that feels both classic and warm.
- Refill housed in front part only: The barrel section contains no refill. The Mach-Ball refill with 0.5 mm tip and oil-based ink is housed exclusively in the Anterique grip section (front part).
- Lightweight plastic: The ABS plastic housing keeps the pen noticeably light – even during extended writing sessions, there's no sense of hand fatigue.
- Dimensions: Maximum diameter 10 mm, total length approximately 142 mm when assembled with the front part – a classically slender ballpoint format.
- Made in Japan: Manufactured to Japanese production standards with precise fit between barrel and front sections.
Use & Tips
- Create colour combinations: The barrel section can be paired with any Anterique BP1 grip section (front part) – a Bordeaux barrel with a transparent or black front part creates two completely different characters.
- Replacement if damaged: If you use your grip section frequently and want to replace the barrel section – perhaps after a drop or for a new colour – here you'll find a perfectly fitting replacement part.
- A thoughtful gift: Multiple barrel sections in different colours paired with one grip section make a well-considered combination for people who like to update their desk seasonally or by mood.
- Keep an eye on your ink: Since the refill sits only in the front part, swapping the barrel section leaves the refill untouched – no ink loss, no readjustment needed.
For Stationery Enthusiasts
The name Anterique blends "antique" and "technique" – and this is evident in the BP1 at every level: the silhouette recalls American ballpoint pens from the 1960s, whilst the Mach-Ball ink with ultra-low viscosity and the built-in spring mechanism in the nib area deliver a precision that older oil-based ballpoints could never achieve. The ink formula flows more fluidly than conventional ballpoint ink, without the drying time typical of gel rollers. The modular system of grip and barrel sections isn't a gimmick – it allows you to completely change the pen's appearance at minimal cost, with the exacting precision fit of Japanese engineering between the two parts.
