Wahl Rchr Pen, Questions...?

[christof]

Can someone help me with this pen?

 

 

Got this in a lot of others and have no Idea what it is. Maybe someone can help me with:

 

- designation

- age

- and factor of nterest for Wahl collectors.

 

The conditon is not that fantastic. There is a hairline to the cap lip and the pen needs a restoration.

 

Thank you in advance.

Christof,

 

They made these soldier clip Wahl pens in two sizes, this is certainly the larger of the two. These RCHR pens are bad for cap lip cracking, though they do command quite a bit more with no lip issues. I would say cleaned up and restored it would be a solid pen that would command a reasonable amount, the 18ct nib is always a bonus for users too!

Below is a page from the 1928 Wahl-Eversharp catalog. I could not find where they listed an orange pen, just red.

The orange pen is the red pen.
