Length 5-5/16 inches (Maxima size).
Filling System Vacumatic speedline filler is in working condition. The filling system has been restored by us with a new diaphragm, and it has been tested. (We will guarantee the filling system for one year from purchase.)
Color Green and black barrel and cap with ambered transparent horizontal lines; 1/4" gold Chevron style cap band; striped jewel (matching pen coloration) on top of cap and black jewel at end of barrel. Blue diamond clip.
Nib Fine 14k nib. The masking is a bit worn.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large-sized, beautifully colored, very shiny pen with ambered transparency through the barrel. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and some light scratch marks. The cap has light to moderate wear. It should be said that it is difficult to see markings on this pen because of the deep coloration. The gold trim pieces at the end of the barrel and at the top of the cap have plating wear as does the cap band and the bottom edge of the clip. The blue diamond paint is intact and looks great. The imprints are slightly faded but can be made out.
