Filling System Eyedropper filler. It has been cleaned, and tested it and it's working very well. We will ship it with an eyedropper kit which consists of instructions, a pipette and a vial of silione grease. Guaranteed for one year from date of purchase.
Color Black chased hard rubber. Two ornate 3/8" gold bands, one at the top of the barrel and one near the end of the barrel. Rounded top of cap. Faux button end.
Nib FINE FLEXIBLE 14K Warranted nib, with ebonite overfeed. It flexes very easily, but the line variation isn't great. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a very slim vintage eye-dropper fountain pen with two distinct, ornate gold bands decorating the barrel at both ends. The black coloring is dark and shiny. The chasing on the barrel is somewhat faded but it is visible. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching. The gold bands have some light plating wear along the top and bottom edges. The cap Swan icon is clear. The barrel imprint is partially readable. Please note the unthreaded cap fits loosely and will fall off if the pen is turned upside down.
