Wahl-Eversharp Skyline – Super Flex – (On Ebay)
A stunning Wahl-Eversharp Skylines. I have a soft spot for these pens. The design just feels right even if it does look a bit abnormal. And the nibs are usually smooth, wet and durable. This Skyline is black with pearlized green/ black pin stripe cap. It is in quite good condition. There is the typical light scratching of celluloid pens, but nothing very significant. The gold trim is in good shape. I could only find a little brassing on the lever. The nib is a bit oblique, so it writes best at a bit of an angle. The obliques doesn’t seem to have any affect on the flexing, however. The flex is a great. This is a super flex nib that goes up to 1.9mm. A beautiful pen.
