[WTS] Swan Mabie Todd TwistFill BHCR 14ct gold Fine Flex Near Mint Condition
Sold
£199
This is a gorgeous Swan Mabie Todd BHCR leverless AKA TwistFill.
The chasing and imprint on thie pen is really crisp. The ebonite is in excellent condition so is the trim minus the few minor brassing on the clip. Overall Rating [B]
The nib in this one is a 14C gold Fine (F) with nice flex and snapback to it but not a wet noodle. For flexibility I will give it 6.5/10 (10 being Insane Wet Noodle Flex) but of course it is subjective. A smooth writer. Excellent size, slightly on the larger side which is hard to find in vintage pens.
The feeder is made of ebonite and keeps up with the ink flow perfectly.
It's also has a leverless filling system (AKA Twist Filler). You twist the bottom knob to fill and and empty the ink reservoir. Desirable for people who don't fancy the leverfiller inking system in vintage pens.
Please see the writing sample video (keep the audio on for the ambiance 😊) and photos here:
The pen has been serviced recently and in fully functional condition.
The nib has been closely inspected and ensured to give a very nice writing experience.

I am a medical doctor by profession with a full-time day job. I do this purely out of passion for fountain pens, specially vintage flex pens. I can safely say that I understand flex nibs and have owned a lot of them over the years. If you have been looking for a vintage pen with a flex nib, please drop me a text. If it is not this particular pen, I might be able to find the right pen at the right price for you as I am trimming down my massive collection. Many thanks.
