A nice pen from the 50's? Very classic styling and the cap is a grey pearl striated material that I do not think is celluloid (no camphor smell that I can tell). It is a lever filler with a new sack. 14K gold nib that flexes but not like my Pelikan 140. The heart shaped breather hole is cool too. A solid grey barrel with a black section. The imprint is readable but a little worn. There does not seem to be any brassing on the clip, filler lever or cap band. The striated cap is what caught my attention and I really like the look of it. Much better in person. It looks like an ebonite feed but I am not sure.

Snazzy cap :dirol:
The body is an odd sort of dark grey colour.
Very interesting. THanks for sharing.
