Description:
1950s Faber Castell 884 in green striped body with dark green section and turning knob, piston fill. This is one of those great "sleeper" pens, a chance to own one of the most exquisite of postwar German pens of the very highest quality at a fraction of the price had it been made by Montblanc, or Pelikan or Soennecken. The entire pen is of dark green striped celluloid with stunning clarity throughout (the cap, too). If it was used, the restoration is perfect and complete. One anomaly exists, and that is a 14 K Degussa nib that looks like it was made for the pen, but does not have the FC markings and the Osmia logo. The nib offers excellent flex and is a medium. Comes with box and papers.
