What makes this pen stand out is the Feather Touch 5 nib. One of the best nibs ever produced. Ever. It has the perfect amount of softness and bounce to produce mesmerizing line variation under normal writing pressure. So much fun and happiness.

Unfortunately, someone tried to disassemble this pen with pliers. Fortunately, all the damage is purely cosmetic and has no impact on function. There are marks on the grip and nib and a few broken feed fins. I've polished the grip so those marks cannot be felt.

The celluloid is in very good condition with no marks or cracks. The transparent barrel stripes have darkened a bit but the clarity remains very nice. There is a bit of plating wear on the end of the clip.

This pen is comparable in size to a Sailor 1911L or Pelikan M800. While those pens have nibs larger than the Feather Touch 5 they do not typically have its luscious bounce. And this pen holds an amazing amount of ink.
