Product Name Lord Byron. It's #60 of a limited edition of 88.
Manufacturer and Year Ancora, Italy, 2000s
Length 5-5/16" and quite stout.
Filling System Pump filler. Unscrew the blind cap, dip the nib into an ink bottle, then depress and release the end a few times, until you don't see any more bubbles.
Color Black Marble barrel, with some light brown veins running through. Black resin blind cap, section and cap. Elaborate vermeil trim, marked 925 on the cap band.
Nib 18k Medium nib. The Ancora nibs are famous for their quality. The tines are rather elongated, adding to the soft and springy feel. There's a little bit of flex, but no real line variation.
Condition Excellent + condition. There are some fine scratches on the surface of the barrel but they do not penetrate the resin. The trim looks good; some places have acquired a patina, but it's way less noticable in the hand than in the pictures. No cracks or chips. It might have been inked, but there are no stains. We've tested the pen and it's working well.
