Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.

Nib FINE FLEXIBLE Waterman's Ideal gold. It gives easy line variation from fine to double broad. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. The barrel and cap look very nice. The main flaw is that the original black color has faded a bit. The cap is a medium brown, and the barrel is mostly a darker brown, with the original black only showing near the front of the barrel where it was covered by the cap. The lever and lever box look quite nice, with just some tiny dots of brassing near the pivot end. The clip has brassing around the ball end, and some along the sides. The cap band has small areas of brassing along the edges. The lettering on the clip is very crisp and clear. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, or personalization. It's fully restored and working well.
