Thanks!

Wow, that's a really interesting example. These usually have shiny chrome caps/clips and solid or translucent barrels. I've never seen one with a clip matching the barrel and is that cap like a matte finish? Great find, grats!

These also came in blue and yellow with flat top chrome caps. I used a blue one in school till I graduated to a 444. My close friend had the yellow one. The nib of my pen was a F and I wore a nice flat on it. The 444 nib was same to the end but the section cracked so I retired it. I then shifted to a 45 the nib of which I wore out in 5 years. I have retained all these pens and they will still write if filled. Wonderful quality.

I had one in red in the late 80s and I lost it while on polgrimage (Umrah) to Makkah. It was a very good weiter.

 

Chromantoc, I am afraid the clip is chrome and not black as the barrel. Perhaps bad light is making it look like it is black and, hence, matching the barrel.

Thanks, mitto, that makes sense. I have blue, red, purple and smoke translucent flat-tops, don't think I ever got around to picking up a green one. I keep Skrip Turquoise in the blue one, it's a great writer and I used it for the one pen, one ink, one month challenge.

I have exact same flat black & silver unit from back in the 80s. Think it came in a Calligraphy set with alternative nib sections and a few carts.

 

Unfortunately with regular washing in tropical humidity, the clip succumbed to rust & fell off the cap
