For Sale: User grade 149. Just got this pen, and its nib isn’t to my liking. It’s a 1970s model with all original components: single-piece barrel, “nipple” screw (pre-brass screw & washer) cap & cap crown, solid ebonite feed, three-tone 14C nib. The nib is a fine with a slight Waverly curve, excellent flow, just not my kind of nib. Barrel & cap have a million micro scratches, but no cracks or gouges at all. The piston works perfectly, very clean and smooth. $350. insured Priority Post CONUS, overseas at cost. PayPal or personal check or whatever is best for you. Or I will trade just the nib for a 149 two-tone 14C nib of any width. People who know me and my pens know that my photos are terrible. Thanks for reading. Best wishes, Barry bbgabay@yahoo.com

The site allows you to attach photos. When replying, click "Go Advanced" then Click on "Manage Attachments" then on "Add Files". There's a limit for each account, so I like to crop photos down to minimize extraneous background and scale the photo so that the the horizontal is less than or equal to 1024 and the vertical less than or equal to 768, but this is not going to be an issue if you rarely post photos to the site.

Thanks for the help. These are pretty bad, but I did it with the training wheels off. Thank you all for your help. Best wishes, Barry
