Length 5-1/8"
Filling System Lever filling system. We've replaced the sac and it's working well.
Color Moderne, cream colored celluloid with patterns of black through it, gold plated trim. Much of the cream color has discolored a bit to a sort of more pink-brown hue.
Nib MEDIUM Warranted #4 14k nib is in nice condition, smooth with good tipping. It's a bit more than semi-flexible, but not full flex.
Condition Very nice condition. As mentioned above, the barrel has discolored a bit, and parts of the cap have too. There's some scratching on the cap and barrel, and some brassing here and there on all of the trim (see photos). The clip is more worn than the rest of the trim, with brassing and a little corrosion visible. No cracks, chips, or personalization. There are some scratches on the top of the nib, probably from gold-testing. It's restored and working well.
