Product Description
Type Modern fountain pen
Product Name Model 20 "Marietta".
Manufacturer and Year Franklin-Christoph Pen Company, USA -- current model.
Length 5-7/16"
Filling System Takes international cartridges and converters. A converter is installed.
Color Vintage Green - kind of a medium-saturated hunter green. Semi translucent. It has recent silver colored clip that is slim and lays close to the cap.
Nib Fine "flex" 14k nib. Rhodium-plated. There are notches cut out of the shoulders which allows the tines to bend a spread just a bit. It's not vintage flex to be sure, but you can get a bit of difference between downstroke and cross stroke.
Condition Near Mint, almost new condition. We don't consider it mint/new because we know the pen has been used. It has no handwear or usage signs. The section on this pen often gets ink caught in it from people over submerging their nib when filling and there is no evidence of that here. This material despite not being smooth is very resistant to ink staining. It's a good model for eyedroppering. The pen is working well. Ships with the maroon leather pen case that can only be obtained with the purchase of a pen. (The similar case on the Franklin Christoph website is a different color.)
