Hi all,
Before the pictures, I'll get the condition details out of the way. The pen is 5 1/4" long and the barrel is 1/2" in diameter. There are nicks in the hard rubber on the barrel, but the hard rubber is in very good condition color-wise. There is a bit of brassing on the lever and the three cap bands. The gold plated finial shows no signs of plating loss. The clip is missing, but the pen will fit a Kaweco accommodation clip, which I will include at no extra cost if the buyer wishes. There are two fine cracks in the cap, but they are stable. The nib is a firm fine Wahl #4. It has more give than, say one of the giant Sheaffer nibs on the old flattops, but not much.
I removed the nib and feed for a good cleaning. Also removed the ossified sac and replaced it. Pen is fixed and ready to write.

For comparison against a standard size Wahl (Kaweco clip attached):
