Product Description

Product Name Magna 261. MSRP on this pen is $360.
Manufacturer and Year Onoto, England, 2012
Length 5-1/2"

Color Black. More specifically High Density Black Acrylic, with a "snakeshead" chased pattern and vermeil trim.
Nib MEDIUM #7 nib, two-toned. Some of the plating has been polished away. It feels quite smooth. (There is paperwork in the box that indicates that the nib was "Binderized", or adjusted by Richard Binder's standard for alignment, flow, and smoothness. However, the note is dated 2012, so there's no guarantee that it's still up to his standard.)
Condition Near mint condition, in box, with extensive paperwork. There is light microscratching indicating usage, but the pen is still quite shiny and handsome in hand. No brassing or plating wear. No dents or dings. This is a large, impressive pen. The imprints are perfect. The wooden box looks fantastic, and the outer cardboard box is likewise in fantastic condition.
