Chris Saenz | Filcao Mini Fountain Pen Early Impressions @ChrisSaenz13 | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 33 minutes ago.
In this video, I show you my Filcao Mini Fountain Pen - F nib - (cartridge pen made in Italy) that I was gifted by pen friend F.D. We look at the pen, comparisons, and a writing sample. I've been using this pen to write a few pages in pen pal letters and have found it very nice! I'm not sure the cartridge size because Kaweco cartridges wouldn't work but I'll keep exploring and meanwhile I'm using the cartridge that came with the pen refilled with an ink syringe.
Here are the measurements I got:
Length Capped: 87 mm, 3 and 7/16"
Length Un-posted: 85 mm, 3 and 6/16"
Grip Diameter: approx. 8 mm
Weight: 14.1 grams
Price Range: seen on E-bay for about $12. US
This is one of the smallest pocket fountain pens in my collection and it has a super smooth nib - I love it!
My understanding is that these are no longer being made. However, they are out there on ebay etc. at times. Here's a listing I found:

Pocket pens are some of the most fun side collecting I've done in the hobby. I love writing with them too and I notice many of mine are eyedropper or cartridge converter pens like this one.
Thank you for watching! I hope everyone is doing well and I plan to take the opportunity to try out the 2 new Opus 88 pens -- the Halo/purple gifted to me by M.B and the Mini Pocket Pen/checkered Manuel and I purchased (shown briefly in the video) soon.
Let me know in the comments, are pocket fountain pens a part of your pen collection/accumulation?
