[Lexaf]

SOLD, Thank you Jeffery!

And thanks for starting up an interesting thread about the 'roots' and backgrounds of this pen! Look HERE

 

For sale: vintage pearl gray and black marbled pen. On the barrel is the name: PERLES

If this is a brand name, it is totally unnown to me. But is is an elegant, well made pen, probably manufactured in Germany in the late 1930's or even early 1950's.

 

Material: Cap & barrel: pearl gray & black marbled/ chipped celluloid.

 

Clip & rings: gold plated brass.

 

Filling System: Button filler

 

Nib: 14K DEGUSSA nib, with lots of flex.

 

Length Closed: 130 mm

Posted: 160 mm

w/o cap: 120 mm

Width of the cap: 13,6 mm

of the barrel: 12,2 mm

 

Writing is smooth, but has a little bit of tooth. with a medium wet M line.

With some pressure one can achieve a nice variety in line width.

 

The pen has practically no user marks, just a little brassing at the clip & ring.

I completely serviced it, and the condition, technically and cosmetically is excellent.

 

Being a totally unknown brand I only ask US$ 60,- for this high quality well made pen.

The price includes World Wide shipping. (uninsured, standard airmail letter post).

Paypal only.
