Product Description

Product Name Goldschwinge 725 - the word means "goldwing" and refers to the shape of the inlaid gold nib. 725 is the specific model, with black plastic body, 14k gold nib, and piston filling system.
Manufacturer and Year Pelikan, made in Germany -- 1962-69

Filling System Piston filler. The piston knob is a bit stiff, but it does work, and will probably work more smoothly after a couple of fills of a lubricated ink.
Color Black plastic with rolled gold trim. There are blue ink viewing windows near the front of the barrel.
Nib LEFT OBLIQUE 14k gold nib, medium to broad width. It's slightly soft, and very pleasant to write with. See our writing sample in the photos.
Condition Excellent condition. There is light scratching and handwear on the cap and barrel. The clip has some brassing along the sides, and the cap band has some plating wear and tiny dots of pitting. There is some moderate scratching on the section, as well as some scuff marks. The ink view window is clear.
Like many of Geha's pens, this one features a "reserve ink" mechanism, where you press a button on the feed which releases that last drop of ink so you can finish writing the page. The button does not react when we press on it, and we cannot guarantee that you will be able to make it work.
