Grandmia, thanks for another in your series of antique English fountainpen reviews.
It certainly is a very dark brown or black brown and appears to write smoothly.

I am amazed at how shiny you get your pens. The imprint is very crisp on that one. The feed looks like it is off center though.

Hi Ivan...It must be the camera angle as the feed is fine.....

Will you consider showing us your polishing technique?

Stef,

Hi Ivan...Unfortunately i think it would take to long, the pens that i consider to be worth it are all polished by hand with slightly different techniques for different pens. Some times it feels that i am polishing for what seems like hours and its a pain in the butt, but some pens are worth it........

the design of the swan self fillers is so beautifully simple and refined.
