Richly saturated and quietly bold, the Diplomat Excellence A2 Fountain Pen - Deep Purple brings together German engineering and a Truphae-exclusive lacquer finish. Built on Diplomat's flagship metal-bodied platform, it offers a reassuring heft, refined balance, and a cap that seals with the brand's signature soft sliding click for dependable readiness.
Craftsmanship & Design
The Excellence A2 is constructed from a full metal chassis, then dressed in multiple layers of deep purple lacquer polished to a high-gloss sheen. Chrome accents and a precisely finished centerband underscore the clean, modern silhouette. A spring-loaded metal clip glides easily onto a notebook or jacket pocket and holds securely without marring fabric. Every detail reflects Diplomat's focus on longevity and daily reliability, from the smooth threads to the even, lustrous finish.
Writing Experience
Diplomat's stainless steel nib is known for consistent ink flow and a smooth, controlled line across common paper types. Writers who prefer a touch more softness can opt for the 14k gold nib, which adds subtle elasticity and nuance while retaining excellent stability. Available in extra fine, fine, medium, and broad, the nib range covers precision note-taking through generously shaded signatures. The softly cushioned cap closure helps prevent dry-out, so the first stroke starts cleanly.
Filling System & Practicality
The Excellence A2 uses the international cartridge/converter system for maximum flexibility at the desk or on the move. Swap cartridges with ease or load bottled ink via converter to explore color and shading. The pen's balanced weight and securely sealing cap make it a dependable choice for extended sessions and everyday carry alike.
Brand Heritage
Since 1922, Diplomat has produced writing instruments in Germany with an emphasis on metal construction, durable lacquer work, and dependable nib performance. The Excellence A2 Deep Purple continues that lineage with a distinctive, Truphae-exclusive finish and the kind of thoughtful engineering enthusiasts appreciate.

Thank you Truphae Team
The pens are awesome and beautiful!!!
Ordered this pen as a gift. My boyfriend is over-the-moon excited and content with the quality of the product and the care taken with its packaging. It arrived swiftly and was the perfect gift. Will be ordering more from Truphae in the future!
This is an absolutely gorgeous pen, so pretty to look at and my goodness, how well it writes! Smooth and juicy in a medium nib, it shows off sheen and shimmer inks well. I'm so glad to have added it to my collection.
The deep purple and gold makes this pen shout royalty. The Excellence A is my favorite brand and model. Wish I could post a photo.
