Product Description
Type Fountain Pen
Product Name Equi-poised... this is the oversized version of the Equi-poised. This pen has some aspects which have us wondering .... there's a few grooves near the end of the barrel that exactly match where a combo pen would have the pencil component screwed on, but this part does not unscrew. Perhaps it was a modification done by Wahl to use up the combo pens parts.
