Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Black hard rubber with silver colored nickel-plated clip and lever.
Nib Fine flexible #2 nib. Soft feeling, with line variation from fine to broad. Please see writing sample below.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a dark, shiny pen with some light fading. The lever has light pitting on the top surface. The clip has light microscratching, with just a small bit of brassing around the top edge. The imprint is faded, but still readable. Short crack descending from the nib breather hole ... the cutting of the nib slit went about 1/16" too far and a short crack of about the same length developed. (This will be stable unless the nib is over-flexed.)
