Vintage Pens: Eagle Prince

Description

Many models in the catalog look similar, but this is the Eagle Prince. A number 4 is stamped on the flat tail end, too. So it might be the Eagle Prince 4. The chasing on the black hard rubber is still pretty crisp, along with the imprint. The pen does show some marks of wear from use. Unfortunately, there is a small crack in the lip of the cap that goes from the lip into the incised cap band. Be careful not to jam the slip cap too hard on to the pen. Nice golden repoussé barrel bands. The pocket clip is an after-market add-on from back in the day. You will write with some nice flex using its 14k gold nib. It has feedback, but you go from extra fine to close to 1mm wide. 13.5cm capped.
