Please Help Me Identify This Bexley!

[comixfan]

I'm trying to identify this pen, which I initially thought was a Bexley Corona until I realized it's a cartridge/converter pen rather than a piston filler (and there are minor cosmetic differences, like the extra gold-toned band at the bottom). It's definitely a Bexley Summer Sunset "something," as its got a Bexley nib and the "B" on the clip. Any help would be appreciated!

I got a Red Corona three years ago. It was piston fill. Later versions include the cartridge/converter system. I made this discovery when I inquired further of a Corona that bore a price tag much lower than the one I bought. Sometimes, one has to be more curious. I don't know whether both are still available.

That's a beauty! I read somewhere about a Corona C/C, don't remember exactly.

^{That is a Bexley Corona. The Corona line was offered in both as a piston filler and later as a C/C (at a lower price point). They were also available with either a steel or 18K gold nib.}

Ah-HA! I had no idea Bexley made a cheaper Corona. I was afraid for a moment that I had acquired some kind of knock-off or Frankenpen, but it's nice to know it's legit. Thanks to everyone for the info!
