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, though we expect it to last reliably for much longer.
Color They called this faceted burgundy marble finish "Garnet Red Moire." Gold filled trim with a 1/4" cap band that goes to the cap lip and has triangular cutouts.
Nib FINE 14k Manifold nib.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautiful little pen in a great collectible red marble color. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching with a few bite marks on the top of the cap and the end of the barrel. There are capping lines on the barrel. The clip has light scratching and the cap band has some little spots of brassing on the high points. The Wahl double check emblem is excellent. The imprint on the cap is light but visible.
