Filling System Vacuum (piston) filler. This was called the "One shot" vacuum filling system by Eversharp and is modeled after the Sheaffer vac-fil system. We've restored the filling system in-house and it's working very well. We'll guarantee it for one year from date of purchase. Note that the knob does not screw down completely, possibly the rod is too long. What you see in the photos is as far as it goes.
Color Brown Hatch with Gold filled trim with a 1/4" cap band that goes to the cap lip and has triangular cutouts.
Nib FINE Wahl Eversharp #2 Flexible Gold Nib. Please see writing sample.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. The barrel looks good, has nice amber transparency, with just some light scratching. The cap has light scratching, and the material near the top of the cap has turned orange due to the celluloid aging and lost some transparency. The beautiful cap band has microscratching. The clip has microscratching and some plating wear along the sides.
