Product Description
Type Modern version of a fountain pen classic.
Product Name Decoband Gold Seal Oversized.
Manufacturer and Year Wahl-Eversharp (modern re-incarnation of company) -- 2015 on, this is a current model that came out in 2015.
Length 5-13/16 inches.
Filling System Pneumatic filling system. Much like the pneumatic system used by Edison and the touchdown system used by Sheaffer, you unscrew the knob at the end of the barrel and pull out the tube before putting the pen in ink. Then push the knob in and re-tighten it. The pen boasts that it holds 2ml of ink at a time and this pen has been recently serviced by Wahl-Eversharp with a new o-ring. It has been tested and is working well.
Color This is the Rosewood version. It has a red woodgrain pattern and is made of ebonite. The trim is gold plated with a jeweler's band of stacked coins beneath the section and a Greek key patterned band near the cap lip. There are matching Greek key patterns on the metal tube of the pneumatic filler. The section and end pieces are black.
Nib BROAD 18k Bock nib. It is smooth with large tipping material and nice spring. This is not the original nib, which would have been marked Wahl Eversharp and would have had a red colored feed. This is a Bock nib with a plain black feed.
Condition Excellent + condition. No outer cracks, dents, or personalization. The pen has some handwear and plating wear on the threaded band between the section and barrel. There is light plating wear on the nib collar, a tiny nick on the upper left of the clip, and some tiny marks on the edges of the barrel end. The gold plated band part of the knob has one noticeable scratch. There are a few capping marks.
