Kosca Brown Arco Celluloid Fountain Pen - Semi Flex
See more Pictures here: https://imgur.com/a/a39NIPi
Beautiful Omas Brown Arco celluloid Material on a vintage Italian fountain pen from the 1930's. Very rare fountain pen and truly unique, vintage semi-flex nib.
Button Filler - Restored, easily sucks up ink
14K Gold Kosca Nib - Fine point, good writer, Semi-flex, goes from f to BB, see writing sample. Vintage semi flex is different from 'modern flex' nibs in that there is a nice snap back quality of the nib that makes flexing very enjoyable; kind of hard to explain but those familiar with vintage flex nibs would understand what I mean.
The pen is approximately 5 inches capped but it does not feel small when you write with it; i think this is because the pen has a nice thickness/girth to it. It is not a small skinny pen and nor is it an oversized pen but I think the most people should be able to use it.
The pen does have some light scratches on pen body and cap but i'm sure it can be polished up if you have experience doing that. The grip section appears to be black ebonite material and has a small noticeable scratch on it.
The pen cap, body, and blind cap are all made of the bronze arco celluloid material; however the brown arco part of barrel does not align perfectly with brown arco part of blind cap. But still the material alone is a wonderful sight; my pictures does not do it justice.
Pen is in good condition for it's age without any major scratches, chips, or cracks, but like any vintage/used pen it may have light scratches/signs of use.
