Product Description

Filling System | Lever filler - working perfectly with a new sac |
Color | Black celluloid embedded with "floating" pieces of mother of pearl looking stuff. Gold plated trim. |
Nib | Lifetime nib is in extra nice condition with a lot of tipping material. Very little flex. Extra fine. |
Condition |
Excellent, like new condition on the barrel with superior clarity. The cap is a little more worn with some fine scratches. The trim has no brassing aside from a little sliver on the cap band. No cracks in the cap lip. Strong imprint. No engraving. We tested the pen and determined that the packing in the vac fill system was still going strong, so we only replaced the washer on the end of the piston. |
