This is an early, rather large ringtop from the Wahl Eversharp company with their wonderfully expressive Signature nib. The pen has substantial thickness, providing a very comfortable handle, but the cap does not post properly and would run the risk of being damaged if mishandled. So please do keep that in mind if that is a deal breaker and you do prefer posting.
It writes extremely smoothly with a conservative flow but has no problem keeping up. When flexed, it has a perfect amount of ink to maintain consistency but does not drench the paper.
The material is clean with minor oxidation to the cap and body, as is common with these materials. There is some brassing on the ringtop and cap bands as well as two indents in the section shown.
Wahl Signature nibs are some of my all-time favorites for their responsiveness and smooth, buttery feel. If you are looking to get into the world of vintage, I always recommend Wahl as a good start for getting a feel for vintage flex/semi-flex. Tested, restored and ready to write!
