Yours seems to be one of the last 14K models. One very interesting (to me) transitional model comes just before yours: 14K nib, split ebonite feed, and brass piston threads. I have seen several egs of this model & owned one in the early 90s, having purchased it new when Price Club was still selling 149s at rock bottom prices. Enjoy your new pen & the weekend. Best wishes, Barry
