Product Name  Standard

Manufacturer and Year  Diamond Medal, USA -- circa 1930s

Length  5-3/8"

Filling System  Lever filler (restored with new sac.)

Color  Green celluloid with a white ring on either end just before the black end piece. Gold plated trim.

Nib  FINE 14k nib is in nice condition with a good amount of tipping material. It's springy and smooth. It's a short nib that was most likely a replacement of the original Diamond Medal nib. Some tool marks on the nib but it does not affect writing.

Condition  Excellent condition with no cracks and very good color. Lots of lesser scratching and shallow bite marks. One such scratch is on the lever. The celluloid discoloration is mostly right beneath the threads on the barrel. There's a little brassing on the gold plated wide cap band, the lever, and just a little on the ball of the clip. No cracks or chips, readable imprint. It's working very well, and looking quite nice.
