Seller: pens-n-gems ✉️ (1,441) 100%, Location: Belper, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 192078941092 Swan Mabie Todd Fountain Pen Solid 9ct Gold Overlay Hallmarks London 1938. On offer is a Swan Mabie Todd fountain pen with a solid 9 ct gold overlay. Please note, this is not gold plated nor gold filled, but had a solid 9ct gold overlay over a BHR body. The total weight of the pen is 27.05 g, a similar sized Swan weighs approximately 7.5 g, so the 9 ct gold content may be as much as 19.5 g. The gold overlay to pen has suffered a little on the section just below the nib, where it shows small 'nibbles' and very fine 'hairlines.  Other than that I can see a tiny dent on barrel end just right to the hallmark, and the pen is in generally good condition. The asking price does reflect the current condition. It has a personalised inscription "D to P 5th April 1944" I have not attempted to strip it down, the twist mechanism is stiff so it will certainly require a new sac and possibly even a new pressure bar. The barrel is clearly hallmarked for 9ct gold with the Mabie Todd hallmark, and it was Assayed in London in 1938. The cap bears a hallmark for 9 ct gold. The nib section bears a hallmark for 9 ct gold. The barrel twist section bears hallmarks for 9ct gold as well as the imprint: Swan Pen Mabie Todd & Co Ltd Made in England ('Ma' of Made slightly rubbed). It still has its original Swan No 2 Nib. The pen measures approximately 11.5 cm capped and 16 cm posted. Please note that this pen is being sold as seen, so please satisfy yourself before buying; so please feel free to ask any questions or request any more photos. Please bear in mind that the current scrap value of the gold case is probably in the region of £250, then you will appreciate that only very close offers can be considered. Within the UK the pen will be sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery. 001-15-01
