Filling System Lever filler, restored here at Peyton Street Pens with a new sac.
Color Black chased plastic, probably radite, with an angled check mark pattern. It has a 3/32" 1/20th 18k gold filled cap band. and a pattern on the lever.
Nib MEDIUM Crisp Italic 14k nib. There is a nick on the side of the nib and some marks on the face. Because it is a crisp italic, it has a specific "sweet spot" and orientation which you'll need to find. With the nib fighting the correct orientation, some users may find it feels scratchy and snags the paper. See the writing sample below.
Condition Excellent + condition. The black parts look perfect with no marks and pristine chasing. The cap band has some brassing on the edges. The clip and lever are almost entirely brassed. The barrel has a very clear imprint. The primary wear is on the nib.
