Filling System Twist filler. You twist the knob on the end of the barrel and it pulls a pressure bar down to squeeze the sac. We've restored it and it's working very well. We'll include instructions on filling the pen.
Color Dark green with gold plated trim. The section and end knob are black. In indirect lighting the green looks nearly black. Triple cap band has one 1/16" band and a half width on either side of it.
Nib FLEXIBLE MEDIUM-FINE Swan #4 14k nib is in beautiful condition, smooth with great tipping material. It has a stub or italic looking cut to it. It's fully flexible, with easy line variation from a thin medium to a double broad. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips or personalization, just light scratches and handwear There's some lesser brassing on the clip ball and light scratches on the cap bands. The imprint isn't fully colored in, but is still very clear. It's a nice looking pen with an interesting filling system, and the nib makes it a real pleasure to write with.
