Wahl Eversharp Gold Seal Pen

This pen is difficult to find information on as it doesn't appear to have been either advertised or cataloged by Wahl Eversharp. Here's what I've been able to find out from sources on www.fountainpennetwork.com and from Richard Binder's site:

• The pen is known as the Eversharp Gold Seal Pen, and it was produced between the Doric and Skyline models. Somewhere around 1939-1941?
• One of the last models to carry the Gold Seal emblem.
• They were produced in two sizes. This one appears to have been the longer of the two, though this is not a very large pen.
• They came in two colors: Dubonnet Red (burgundy) and black. This pen has a visualated section.
• They cost $5.00 new.
• Richard Binder's example has EVERSHARP MADE IN U.S.A. Mine has WAHL EVERSHARP MADE IN USA on the barrel.

While this is a nice pen, it is certainly not the built at the same quality level as other world class pens being produced at that time as the body feels somewhat insubstantial and it is a bit plain.

However, the nib is excellent, and a very fine writer. It produces a nice, wet, smooth, reliable line.

When I got it I had to install a sac and reinstall the pressure bar (which meant I had to remove the lever the pin). The pressure bar was a pain to do, but it worked out well.
