Pentalic / Weidlich Hybrid Fountain Pen - 14k semi flex nib / Piston Fill Pen

Description

This auction is for a fountain pen that marries a c.1990 Pentalic Mark X Calligraphy piston fill pen with a 14k gold 1930s Weidlich fine semi flex nib.  I've had this pen sitting around for 15 years and I finally got tired of the fact that I couldn't get the super wide italic nib to write consistently (nib shown in pics and included).  Maybe it was me, but out of frustration I installed a spare nib I had from a broken pre-war Weidlich.  It's a marriage made in heaven.  It's smooth, consistent and a pleasure to write with.  It really needs to get into the hands of someone who starting out in the hobby and isn't ready to carry a 0 Pelikan.
The Pentalic was NOS when I got it, though the gold plating is slightly discolored in one area of the cap band, showcasing the fact that it's a 10 dollar pen.  Add the solid gold nib and now it's ready to go!  There's no damage to the pen or nib.  When changing out the nib (it's a threaded unit so you can change it out if you like), I lightly coated the inside of the barrel with silicone grease so the operation is flawlessly smooth.
Winning bidder to pay via PayPal.  Shipping via US Postal Service First Class Mail.  Returns gladly accepted.
Cheap thrills, but a pen that will beat out a much more expensive one into your pocket.
