This an exceptional opportunity to own a great pen in great condition. This is a tough Pattern to find. Especially in this condition. This pattern is generally referred to as the stars and stripes. The pen is 5 3/16 when in the closed position. These early gold filled Conklins tend to brass easily particularly at the top edge of the cap, just below the section, the lock ring and on the posting end. This example has almost no brassing to mention. The only visible flaws are a few tiny dings on the side of the posting end visible in the images provided. The images actually make the slight damage seem worse. The nib is a stub Conklin Toledo 2. The pen is restored and ready to use.
