The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
Manufactured in England, this is a Wyvern 404 from the late 1940s or early 1950s in black veined silver pearl marble with gold trim
As with other companies such as Mentmore, Wvern was using the 404 design to experiment with a type of hooded nib. This design element suggests that this was one of the company's main attempts to produce a model to compete with the Parker 51
This example is fitted with its original medium 14k gold nib which produces line of around 0.6mm
Condition wise, this has seen little use and is in good shape with a readable barrel imprint
This is a lever filler with a latex rubber ink sac and does not take cartridges
Condition B/1m - (Ref 12976)
See our Condition Grading Scale
We have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen and ultrasonically cleaning all the parts. We then reassemble the pen and fit the correct size of new ink sac, check the ink flow and the smoothness of the nib. We also check and adjust the tightness and positioning of the clip.
This pen comes with our normal 12 month warranty. We keep a detailed record of each customer's purchases so if you need to call us, we will have all the information here to answer any query
