Color Green Shell was Wahl's name for this unique green lined celluloid pattern, Gold trim.
Nib #5 adjustable nib goes from medium-fine to double broad. We played around with it a little, and found that with the slider all the way pulled back it was pretty hard to write without railroading. Moving it forward a few clicks produced consistent writing, and that is where we measured the line variation and took the writing sample. The nib can possibly be re-set to allow you to take full wet noodle advatage of the maximum spread, but it's not something we have the skills to accomplish, nor will guarantee it is even possible.
Condition This pen has been used, but it is in excellent condition. Thin lines of brassing on the high places of the cap band. There are a few cap lip cracks that follow the ridge of the facet, but they are very stable and held in place by the cap band. A few light marks on the barrel. The nib is in near perfect condition with lots of tipping material. The filling system works well, and we'll guarantee it for a period of one year.
