Filling System Piston filler. We've restored the filling system and it works great. The piston moves freely.
Color Black celluloid with an amber semi-transparent window for the "Word Gauge" system. The barrel is like a graduated cylinder where the tick marks show how many words can be written before the pen runs out of ink. It has gold filled trim and two cap bands, and a black ribbed end piece.
Nib Flexible Fine 14k Conklin nib. It has a crescent breather hole and offers very strong line variation. Please see the writing sample below.
Condition Very Nice condition. The barrel has some slight warping including a slight bulge on the barrel from posting. The blind cap has teeth marks and the cap has handwear. The clip shows some plating wear. The imprints are clear and the barrel transparency is strong. The word gauge system is ready to go.
