It looks to have been stored in its box for the better part of its 86 years. Rolled 14K cap band and clip are in beautiful condition with very little tarnish. Mint rare pre-war Marukin 14K nib. The original ink-stop even still holds without leaking!

This pen was carefully stored in to ensure the highest condition. Material: Ebonite with original pre-war 14K Marukin stamped nib.
