Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Double 8 Product ID D8FP-407
Manufacturer and Year Retro 51, the company is in the USA but it uses Schmidt nibs (from Germany) and the rest of the components are manufactured in Taiwan -- 2000s, we found it in catalogs as early as 2005 and recent as 2018 .
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System Takes international style cartridges and converters. A working piston converter is installed.
Color Faceted marbled blue material with silver colored trim.
Nib Fine steel nib, very smooth. It is marked Retro 51 but does not have a nib size. The nib should have been made by Schmidt.
Condition Excellent condition. It is missing the blue stone that was embedded in the clip. The pen looks great with shiny trim and no scratches. The only wear is that the band at the end of the barrel moves. The pen works well.
