DP004: Diamond Point Fill E-Z.

Date: c1920s

Size: Capped - 4 1/4 inches; Posted - 5 1/2 inches.

An unuusal early Diamond Point ringtop pen.  This pen is in excellent condition - the only thing wrong that I can see is the brassing to the chatelaine ring at the top of the cap, and a very slight darkening of the celluloid on the cap, mainly at the lip.  The pen is, however, in overall excellent condition.  I have fitted a silicone ink sac in this pen, which does not have that affect and should prevent it from discolouring further.  The flat-topped cap has a chatelaine / watch chain ing at the top and a wide gold filled band near the lip.  The barrel has a good clear and deep imprint, with a short gold filled filling lever.  This has a large circular end tab with the "D" within a diamond logo impressed.  The nib is marked "Warranted 14K" with a number 2 imprinted below.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib writes very smoothly and is quite soft.  It produces some very attractive line width variation from an extra-fine to a good medium width with little effort on the part of the writer.  

A classic 1920s design.
