Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen by Wahl Pen
Product Name Doric Gold Seal (second generation)
Manufacturer and Year Wahl Eversharp, USA, 1930s

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 replaced the piston plunger and tested the filling system in-house and it's working very well. We did not have to replace the seals, but we will guarantee the filling system for a year from the date of purchase.
Color Amethyst Shell. The barrel is clear with a hatched pattern, and has good transparency (please see pictures below). Gold filled trim with a 1/4" cap band that goes to the cap lip and has triangular cutouts.
Nib Eversharp "Flexible" Nib, made in Enland. Line variation from extra fine to medium. (Writing sample below.)
Condition Superior condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautiful little pen. Minimal scratching and handwear, the celluloid surfaces are very smooth and shiny. Slight capping lines on the barrel. The clip has hardly any scratching, though there are lines of brassing on the edges. The cap band has some little dots of brassing on the high points. The Wahl double check emblem is excellent. The imprint on the cap is slightly smoothed out but easily readable.
