The info sites out there place it as a Crest TM model, Triumph 14k two-tone nib (M5), black body and section, GF cap with white dot.
The nib is stiffer than some of the leather stamps I use. If I can't get this pen restored, it might get used as a stylus for impressing leather; and if I sharpen the nib, I could use it as a fine woodworking chisle. This beauty is going right into my checkbook as soon as it's in working condition again
It's in OK shape for its years. The gold is worn off of a spot or two near the top of the cap. The snorkel doesn't want to smoothly retract back all the way, and is cock-eyed. I can't get the section to unscrew from the body with just a bit of finger force, and I _really_ don't want to force it. The barrel and blind cap look very good; no cracks or major dings/gouges. Just some light scuffing from normal wear. The nib looks to be in great shape (like it's probable that a Triumph nib would be anything but?), as does what I can see of the feed on the underside.
I guess I just need to send it to someone for a complete spa treatment...
