Filling System Lever filler. We restored the system with a new sac and it's working well.

Nib MEDIUM 14k Feather Touch #5 nib. It's two tone, and both the tipping and the masking are in good condition, without much wear. There's just a little hint of flex to it.
Condition Excellent condition. There's some microscratching on the cap and barrel, and just some very light scratches as well, mostly on the mid and lower barrel. There's a little plating wear on the tip of the clip (see photos), but otherwise the plating is looking quite nice, with just a little microscratching here and there. No cracks, chips, or personalization. The imprint is still clear. It's restored and working well.
