A new arrival from Germany - well, not really new. I bought this some months ago and used the nib in another Kaweco and left it in Germany when I moved to Monster Island. And then I had it sent after me.
It is an older model of the Kaweco Sport Classic, I think. Maybe from the early 90's? At least I had not seen it before when I got it from ebay.
The shape/size is the same as that of the newer models. But it has another feed (shorter), and a softer stainless steel nib. You can even get some flex out of it. The nib also has a engraving that is different from the newer nibs ("GERMANY" is engraved at a different palce [close to the grip section], no "since XXX" and the nib size is encircled).
Did I mention that it is an ugly pen! It is a grey one with grey/blue freckles. baeh!

p.s.: The Good would be the EF-nib, The Awesome my BB-nib ground to a right OBB (that needs a little bit more grinding => the BB-nib is the best nib so far for custom grinds. Lots of tipping to play with).
