Wahl Gold Filled W/ Clip – Wet Noodle (On Ebay)
Here is a lovely Wahl gold-filled pen of a ring top size only this has the clip rather than the ring top. The pen looks quite nice, but it does show some brassing. Particularly, there is brassing on the end of the barrel, and on the bottom and top edge of the cap. There is also some on the lever and clip, though it is much less noticeable. Has the personalization “Howard Bond” inscribed in print. The 14kt. #2 Wahl nib is ultra easy to flex. Writing with it take a light touch or you will end up flexing it accidentally. It is so soft, in fact, that it can be a bit difficult to control. Writes normally as a F with good flow. Not too wet or too dry, and with a bit of feedback. It flexes from 0.4mm to 1.9mm (F-BBB). Great pen.
