BCHR Conklin Crescent 40 Flex Nib Fountain Pen restored

Here is a larger example of this iconic pen from 1920s. Chasing is almost completely worn. The barrel shows more oxidation than the cap. It was disassembled and cleaned.

A new sac was installed. It comes with a phenomenal 14k large conklin nib that writes with a f point and flexes to bbbb. Barrel imprints are almost completely worn.

One can still see the model number "40" towards the end of the barrel, but magnification and good lighting are needed. There is a crack above the clip (see photos). It will not affect the function. Gold-filled trim shows little wear on the clip.

Length is just under 5 1/2 capped. While it has its issues, none is fatal. The nib compensates for its minuses.
