Product Description
Type Lever fill fountain pen
Product Name Model 85
Manufacturer and Year Conway Stewart, UK -- 1950s.
Length 5".
Filling System Lever filler. We replaced the sac and tested it, and it's working very well.
Color Marbled Blue. Black section. Thin cap band and diamond clip. Gold plated trim.
Nib Semi-flexible Fine Italic 14k nib writes very smoothly. See the writing sample below.
Condition Very Nice condition, in box. There is a crack in the barrel, near the threads, but does not extend into the threads. It seems stable, and since it doesn't breach the threads shouldn't affect the fit of the section into the barrel. The trim looks really good, just a bit of plating wear on the open end of the clip and on the lever. Cap band looks great. The clip is loose and swivels around the cap fairly easily, but it won't come off. The imprint is crisp.
