Filling System Vacumatic (piston/plunger) filling system. We've fully restored it in house with a new diaphragm, and it's working very well.
Color Black body with a gold filled 1/8 14k cap in a pattern of close parallel lines and an arrow clip. Pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib FINE gold nib is in excellent condition, with a large amount of tipping, and feels smooth.
Condition Excellent condition. The hood is scratched (especially on the underside near the feed) and has some tool marks. The barrel has light microscratching with the majority toward the end caused by cap posting. The imprint is nice and clear. The cap looks great though there is a small shallow dent to the right of the clip. Otherwise, the cap just has consistent microscratching but no brassing. The clip looks very nice. Imprints on the cap are clear.
