Filling System Bulb filler. You unscrew the barrel, immerse the nib in ink, and squeeze the bulb a couple times. We've restored it with a new bulb and it's working well.
Color Solid 14k gold cap and barrel in a pattern of lines.
Nib MEDIUM nib marked 14k W.S. Hicks Sons. It's very smooth, with lovely tipping material. It's semi-flexible, with slight line variation from medium to broad under light pressure.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks, chips, or personalization. There are some small dings and marks here and there in the soft gold body and cap, but no really large dents. It's fully restored and working very well. When you screw on the cap, it catches and stays secure, but it doesn't feel like it screws on all the way.
