This 2nd Generation “Gold Seal” Doric is in excellent condition and measures 4 9/16 inches closed. It has no cracks, no damage, no crystallization and no engravings. The gold-filled trim is nice and clean throughout and shows no brassing. The Eversharp imprint on the back of the cap is gently worn but still fully legible. The original Wahl-Eversharp #6 adjustable nib is smooth and Fine – since this is an adjustable nib, you can make it either firm or flexible by simply sliding the top portion of the nib either forward or to the rear. This pen’s nib/feed/section also has the ink-shut-off feature. The blind cap unscrews smoothly and the piston rod slides out with no problems. However, it will require basic restoration if you intend to use it.

 

Price is $230 inclusive of US shipping (CONUS only). Please email me with any questions – first firm email gets the pen. I prefer Paypal (direct money transfer preferred, add 3% to price if credit card or debit card), though money orders will do too. Thanks for looking.

What a unique pen with an adjustable nib. I wish I had not blown my Fountain Pen budget. Something always seems to come along after I have purchased something.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
