Product Description

Filling System We have configured this pen as a blow-filler. It's a simple filling process: put the nib in ink, and blow in the hole in the end of the barrel. (Surprsing little pressure is actually required.) Leave the nib in the ink for a few seconds, pull it out and wipe off any excess ink on the section. The pen is ready to write. You don't need to unscrew the barrel, but if you did you'd see a simple rubber sac which will be easy to maintain and replace if it ever wears out.
Color Matte green ripple ebonite. Gold clip.
Nib FINE. 18k Sheaffer Feather Touch nib from the 1990s Balance II series. Soft-feeling, but no real flex.
Condition Brand new, never used except during the process of building and testing. We fitted a new sac. The pen has been tested thoroughly for ink flow and smoothness.
