Hi everyone!
This is a 1940s Triumph in grey pearl striated. Excellently restored by Eldon Braun earlier this month, this pen now fills to a healthy 2ml in the barrel. Its cap band is in good condition--no major plating loss or scuffs, but clip has seen better days, exhibiting some plating loss and many scuffs, but it functions as designed and is hardly an eyesore (I for one find the 'well-worn' look it gives the pen quite pleasant). Barrel, cap, and filling knob are all in great condition--no major scuffs, warping, cracking, ambering (ink view stripes are a nicely tinted yellow)...etc, and the brand engraving is crisp (there is no name engraving on this pen). The nib is a moderately wet F/M with a sort of pencil-like toothiness (not scratchy). The white dot is *slightly* off center with the clip--not really noticeable unless you make a point of staring at it. Overall, a great classic user pen in good condition.
$65 Shipped CONUS (Shipping outside of U.S at extra cost) For questions or interest, email me at dabantur@gmail.com
