I snagged this darling for a song, and while it hasn’t gotten much use, it’s a gorgeous pen. One of Conklin’s re-imagined crescent filling pens, this demonstrator has rose-gold hardware that set off the sapphire resin beautifully!

I’ve wanted a Crescent-filler forever, and I adore demonstrators. This was therefore inevitable! Add in the rose-gold trim and I was in love. My first bona fide numbered LE, too! Gorgeous pen in a really stunning finish. I love the crescent fillers; my only (very small) quibble is that they can be a bear to flush thoroughly, but no more so than any vintage lever-filler.

Funky ‘cow’ patterned Mark Twain Crescent filler. Nice nib with a hint of feedback, and a lovely writer. Bit of a bear to flush efficiently, though.
