Description.

This is a lovely example of an early Swan Eye Dropper Fountain Pen, this is the C2 Safety Screw Cap model which was made in the UK and dates from around 1910.

The pen is made from black hard rubber with a chevron chased pattern to the barrel and cap. The hard rubber is in 'OK' condition with some wear and marks, especially on the barrel, the imprint is worn but still legible.

Forget the cap and barrel though, what you need to look at is the nib. You seldom find the "holy grail" combination of Broad, Italic, Oblique and Flex - this one has them all! it is one of the nicest nibs I have ever written with! it writes effortlessy and gives an amazing shape to your writing.

The imprint on the barrel is deep and clear and the pen is in excellent condition throughout. The nib has a gold overfeed, typical of these very early models.

The pen has been fully serviced and is ready to write. It will be provided with an eyedropper with which to fill it.

What a nib!!!!!
