Product Description

Length 5-1/8" long
Filling System Lever filler, restored with a new sac.
Color Hard rubber in a red woodgrain pattern commonly called rosewood. Gold filled trim.
Nib EXTRA FINE Wahl #2 14k Manifold nib. Firm, no flex.
Condition Excellent condition. This is a beautiful pen with a gorgeous woodgrain appearance and is very shiny. The cap and barrel look great, very smooth with minimal scratching. The lever has plating wear along the sides and across the middle. The decorative band at the end of the barrel has some plating wear. The cap looks really good with no visible scratches. The cap bands have microscratching; the top band has some plating wear. The Gregg logo in the top of the cap is missing some of its enamel. The clip has plating wear along the sides, around the top edge, and on the ball. The top decorative gold band has microscratching and some denting. The imprint is clear.
The barrel is personalized with "M Goetz" - this imprint is smoothed quite a bit and is difficult to see unless you know to look for it.
