Condition and information:
One of the best and most reliable vintage Reform pens. These are one of the highest quality pens manufactured by Reform. The pens offered here are in a rare grey anthracite color, giving the pens a very unique, vintage but subtle look. The pen shape is unique, that is from a circular cap ring and body, it ends in a triangular shape on the captop and turning knob, making one of the most beautiful vintage Reform pens. The pen is made out of high quality plastic resin, which has a high shine and gloss but its also scratch resistant. The design and shape of the pen follows the style at the time, a very similar pen to Montblanc Mote Rosa pens, Senator and other pens. The pen has an excellent grip, weight, feel in the hand, it is superbly balanced pen, and does not tire the hand, it stands almost 140mm long closed and 150mm posted. The nib extraordinary 14K 585 nib, EF size, very smooth on the paper but with a full flexibility, rarely seen on newer pens today. In such a nib the tines of the nib split apart as soon as it touches the paper, with little to no pressure. This nib changes thickness of the lines with every stroke. Writing with such a nib is a pure joy, as from an EF grade (extra fine) varies to medium lines to very wide double broad BB line and even wider, mimicking all nib sizes, it feels like writing with a paint brush. The pen is truly remarkable in every sense, everything a fountain pen should be, both in style and performance. Extremely well build, meant to last and endure hard work for decades, yet with great appeal and amazing performance, some of the best fountain pen writing. The pen comes in a rare to find, NOS, New Old Stock, never used condition, still with its original model number and nib stickers.
