Product Description

Product Name Unknown, probably "Junior"
Manufacturer and Year Unknown, Germany, 1930s or 1940s
Length 4-7/8"

Color Black pen with a yellow tinted viewing section. The trim was thinly plated in gold.
Nib Semi-flexible left oblique steel nib. It's marked "No 299 Onix." It writes with a little bit of flex but when casually writing, it's more similar to an italic. The left oblique angle makes it suitable for right handed writers, and you angle the nib a slight bit counter-clockwise to hit the sweet spot. See the writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition, in the original box. Though the pen only looks lightly used, the plating is quite worn on the clip but it was probably pretty thin to begin with. The cap band looks great though and there isn't a lot of wear on the pen. There's some markings beneath the washer part of the clip. There are some pitting like marks on the nib. The barrel is engraved with the word, "Junior."
