For a loss.

I paid for it (gladly) brand new for $129 and I'm selling it for $95 shipped within US.
The nib is Franklin-Cristoph EF steel.
I will of course flush the pen clean before shipping it.
It will be shipped with the original white box and 2 cartridges, I'm not including the black leatherette pen case as I use it every day.

That's the pen, gorgeous icy, eye-dropper *and* cartridge friendly:

The cap finial is what they call Cinnamaroon:

I don't have scanned writing sample, but this pen is one of my best sketchers:

The sketch is ugly, but the pen is a beaut.

It is, and it's also of excellent quality. No skips, hard starts, ever. That's why it's one of my best sketching pens.
There is no doubt that some day I will pick up another F-C.

But ATM, it just ties up the fund that I'd like to invest in other pens.

What are you buying next? :)

I want one eventually, but recently won an eBay auction I didn't think I'd win and can am attempting to exercise some self control.

Mostly vintage pens.
I am having a lot of fun tinkering and restoring those.

What did you win on ebay?
