I am selling a Lady Soennecken 111 in Green Herringbone with a 14K flexible broad italic nib. The barrel is engraved "Baumeister-Zeitung." I bought this pen a few years ago from Gary Lehrer. It is a beautiful, rare color Soennecken, and it's a fantastic writer.

Here's the deal: last summer, the cork dried up, and when I tried turning the piston, it broke. I sent it to a respected pen repair person. He got the piston working, but the click mechanism no longer functioned and the piston knob was loose. I felt it was unusable, so I sent it back to Gary who was able to return it to its original condition, except: the prior repair person stripped the threads. Great. Gary's machinist was able to repair the threads on the piston, so it now functions flawlessly, but the famous "click-lock" aspect of the piston no longer functions. It isn't necessary for the pen to fill and write properly, but since the click function no longer works, I wanted to make that clear. This is also reflected in the price of the pen.
Asking $275.00 (reduced from $325) shipping included within the US. I will consider shipping outside the US as long as the buyer pays all shipping costs, customs, etc.
PM me if interested.
