Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Ecridor Retro
Manufacturer and Year Caran d'Ache, Switzerland -- Relatively recent but is not the current version of this model.
Length 5-5/16"
Filling System Takes international style cartridges and converters. A working piston converter is installed. Please be aware that since the pen has a narrow barrel some converters fit better than others..
Color Guilloche patterned hexagonal faceted cap and barrel. It's palladium plated and meant to echo the design on the 1947 mechanical pencils. The clip states the maker and maker location and the base of the clip attached to the clip says, "Clip Metal."
Nib Broad rhodium plated steel nib, very smooth. It's a short nib with lots of tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition. No dents, dings, or plating wear. There are some consistent light scratches on the smooth edges of the facets and the imprint on the clip is a bit worn. The finish looks good as does the red logo on the cap. The line on the section in the photograph is from the lighting and is not a scratch. Working very well and in the appropriate box. The box has lots of wear on the outside.
