This is a great example of an early Sheaffer green flattop pen. It is a smooth writer and I don't think this pen was used much. The color isn't perfect, but if you look at the photos, you will notice that the color is excellent compared to most of the other green pens you will see from the 1920s. This is a non-lifetime model and has the correct 5-30 nib.
