Wahl-Eversharp Skyline (Demi) – Good/Super Flex – (On Ebay)
Here is a beautiful Wahl-Eversharp Skyline in Demi size. This style Skyline with the green pinstripe cap is my personal favorite. The body, derby, and pinstripes are black. The color combo with the gold accents looks sharp in my opinion. The body has only minor surface wear from normal use. No deep or obvious scratches, etc. The gold-filled trim is in great condition with only the top of the lever having just a tiny bit of plate loss from posting. The 14kt. Eversharp nib is a lovely wet writing XF. It’s a bit of a stubbish XF which adds some nice character. The flex is also quite nice ranging up to BBB (1.6mm). Ease of flex is either on the low end of super flex or the high end of “good flex.” Responsiveness is decent. It’s a beautiful Skyline in great condition.
