| VINTAGE WYVERN NO 84 BUTTON FILLER PEN: BURGUNDY / BLACK HATCHED DESIGN - 5 1/4" C.1940's | Brand: Wyvern |
This is a vintage English made fountain pen which measures 5 1/4 inches long with cap in place and it dates to the 1940's. This is the Wyvern No. 84 fountain pen and both cap and barrel are decorated in the striking burgundy and black hatched pattern. The screw on cap, with black stud end, has gold plated trim to the pocket clip and cap band which has an unusual Greek key design. The gold nib which is in place i...s marked "Warranted 14ct Best Quality" but I will point out that the nib, although intact, does have a slight bend to the tip. The barrel has the imprint "Wyvern No. 84 Wyvern Pen Co. London Made in England " and the end of the barrel unscrews to reveal the button filler system. The condition of the pen is good with no splits, cracks, nicks, damage or scratches but there are signs of wear as it to be expected through age and use - some light surface scratches to the barrel and some loss the the gold plated trim but nothing too serious or detracts in any way. I will point out that the pen has been used so an overhaul will be in order but I will leave this to the buyer. Please excuse any photo flashes or reflections. This vintage Wyvern button filler fountain pen, decorated in the striking burgundy and black hatched pattern, would make an ideal gift or a great addition to any collection.
