Made a correction for the color red into purple/pink/red, which is more the real color. Colors are actually as is shown in the pictures.
(Thanks for comment Ruben!)

Lexaf is great to do business with. I've purchased 4 pens from him and I promise these are nice pens

[Lexaf]

UP!

[Lexaf]

And up again for the last time.
No price reduction for this lovely pen as it is already very cheap...
If it does not sell I will have it on e-Bay next week.... :(

What a lovely pen... Button Fillers are a pain in the ass for me.. I switch inks regularly... If not for that, I would buy it for sure.. Love your pens Lexaf !!

Thank you @Cyber6 for the comment and the compliments. So sorry for you, but button fillers were about the most popular filling systems for European pens in the '30's, as were lever fillers in that time in USA. I must admit it is a lot of work to clean ink sac based pens completely when you want to change colors. Piston based Pelikan and Montblanc pens being the (expensive) high end exceptions of course. But they were not the only brands that made piston fillers. Unfortunately, multi colored celluloid piston fillers are rare.
Do not worry, there are some more pens coming. Remember the Old German 'Edel' pens? I found a nice lot of similar pens. I have the lot in preparation now, but it's quite a project and I need some more time to complete the work. These are piston fillers, end 1930's (maybe 'War Pens'), new old stock German school pens, but they need to be restored, completely rebuilt actually. They need new cork seals and new nibs, but as soon as they are ready I'll present them here on the 4sale section. So keep tracking the classifieds!

That is a very sharp looking pen, and a great price.

I hope it finds a good home soon
