Filling System Vacumatic plunger filling system has been restored here at Peyton Street Pens and is working well. This has the late plastic plunger system.
Color Azure Pearl body and cap with gold plated trim. It has alternating blue-gray pearl bands and semi-transparent amber bands. The cap has a black cap jewel and a chevron patterned cap band just over 1/8". It has a blue diamond clip. The color is very dark.
Nib FINE 14k nib. It is smooth and springy with nice tipping material. The nib is a narrow fine.
Condition Excellent condition. The imprint on the barrel is partially worn but the barrel transparency is strong. There is a scratch on the end of the barrel below the blind cap, caused by posting the cap, but it is very hard to notice. The cap band chevrons are partially worn and there are two needle like marks on the trim, one on the tassie and one on the cap band. The pen is very sharp looking despite some wear and marks.
