Conklin Limited Edition Mark Twain "Crescent Collection"  18K nib ultra-rare new

Description

Conklin Limited Edition Mark Twain "Crescent Collection" 18K nib ultra-rare new. Inked once at point of purchase to provide me with a sample of the "medium 18K nib".  The dealer who sold this fountain pen did not realize that he had a very limited, perhaps pre-production model with a beautifully scrolled 18K gold nib, which is not marked or identified as "Conklin".  All of the trim is pure Sterling Silver.  Note that the company name on the barrel was highlighted in yellow.  Mark Twain's signature is engraved in the cap's ring.  You can have an extremely rare Conklin Crescent, Mark Twain which did not become part of the regular production of this revived Crescent Filler.  Any reasonable offer considered.  The auction includes the lidded, satin lined and padded Conklin display box and the box-sleeve, which is imprinted with the gold-leafed Conklin trade-mark and the facsimile gold-leaf signature of Mark Twain, which is also claimed under a Conklin trade-mark.
