DescriptionThis pen utilizes the special lucky curve feed end, first patented in 1894, by George Safford Parker. This new pen nib forever changed the way fountain pens dispensed their ink. This pen is mostly black with a gold nib. There are small textured notches throughout the pen, which forms a kind of wave pattern. In the center of the pen there is a logo in the shape of a ribbon, which has a line of text on it that reads "LUCKY CURVE." On either side of the logo there is bits of text useful to the manufacturer of the pen. There is a separate black cap, which has the same texture throughout as the main body of the pen.On View
