This is a wonderful piston filler from Germany made by the small manufacturer going by the odd name of Argument. (German humour?)

 

The crsytal clear and in my experience unprecedently vivid yellow ink window is a stand out feature. Theer are other nice features too though. The original Argument nib has an emblem of a man with a safety pen ticked under his arm. Nice !

 

The nib actually has a tie down feature with two small strips of metal wrapping underthe feed to hold it. The barrel is (as with the Montblanc Masterpiece pens of the 1950s) painted black. In areas where the dye has worn you can see hints of the wonderful yellow celluloid beneath...

 

This pf is in great condition. Whilst unrestored the rubber piston head fits snugly and I wil assume it will both take in and hold ink. I've not had a chance to test it but it does look fine.

 

No cracks or hairlines. In nice glossy and functioning condition with a smooth piston.

 

Looking for $95 plus shipping for this rare German pen with the strange name.

now $69. these pens have fascinating nib units. The nib has a wrap around design and is pulled out along along with the feed. this makes it easy to interchange nib units from one pen to the next. you simply pull them out!
