Offered is a rare Omas Levenger Articula, 14k semi flex Fine nib

The pen itself is in near mint condition, very shiny, very clean. It's never been inked, stored in a collection since new.

I was told I am the second owner. The first said he never used it. When I got it, I had the piston lubed and we found no traces of ink. I haven't used it (I don't carry black pens). The box shows degradation on the outside, but almost all of these old Omas and Bexley boxes I've had show the same issues.

I understand these Articula nibs are very springy and soft, semi flex like the Italia 90 nibs. From what I can tell these we sold in small quantities in 1999 and 2000.

This Articula is the same size as an old-style Paragon, slightly smaller than a current Ogiva. Please examine the photo album here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskr229qg

Sold, Thank you!
$220 including shipping to USA and Canada. Other countries will be a bit more.

Since I found that this Articula was uninked, I left it in that state. If anyone is curious about its characteristics I did find two threads on this pen at FPN that might help:

Not having a Paragon or an Ogiva I don't have an idea of the size of this pen. How large is it? :confused:
