This second-generation Doric features the advanced plunger-fill system—freshly restored, expertly serviced, and performing exactly as this model was intended at the height of Wahl-Eversharp’s innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pen has been completely disassembled and meticulously restored. The nib, feed, section, and barrel were ultrasonically cleaned. The original packing unit has been replaced, along with a new plunger gasket and shut-off spring to ensure proper vacuum action and ink shut-off functionality. The gold-filled clip, wide cap band, and 14K nib have been carefully hand-polished, and display minor wear. The cap, barrel, and blind cap were cleaned, buffed, and polished revive celluloid while preserving its integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmetically, this Doric presents beautifully. The cap and barrel are free from chips, cracks, teeth marks, or repairs. Threads are crisp, and the cap seats securely. The double-check mark seal is intact and sharp (not drilled out). The gold-filled clip retains strong color with minor wear at the high point on the ridges. The wide cap band remains bright with only light surface wear. The cap imprint “EVERSHARP MADE IN U.S.A.” is  legible on the backside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel transparency is good with medium ambering. There are no monograms or personalizations. The pen is the standard size and measures approximately 4 7\/8 inches capped, 5 5\/8 inches posted, and weighs 0.56 ounces—perfectly proportioned, with a balanced feel in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plunger vacuum filling system has been water-tested and operates exactly as it should, drawing and expelling ink efficiently while holding a generous capacity. The shut-off mechanism functions properly, sealing the ink chamber when engaged—one of the Doric’s most advanced features for its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Doric is fitted with a magnificent 14K flexible nib. The tipping measures approximately 0.58mm at rest (Fine) when measured with digital calipers. Under controlled pressure, the nib will range from .56mm and expands to approximately 1.68mm (Heavy Double Broad), delivering expressive line variation from delicate hairlines to bold, dramatic swells. The writing sample shown in the listing images was created with this very pen, dipped in Pelikan Royal Blue ink, and demonstrates both the smoothness and responsiveness of the nib. It writes effortlessly and with excellent snap-back—exactly what collectors seek in a true vintage flexible nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jet Black Doric remains one of the most iconic Art Deco fountain pen designs ever produced—faceted, architectural, and unmistakably American. Between its classic jet black celluloid, freshly restored plunger system, and flexible nib, this example stands as a collector-grade piece in Very Fine+ condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether destined for a serious vintage collection or to be enjoyed as a daily expressive writer, this Doric represents the golden age of American fountain pen craftsmanship—restored properly, performing beautifully, and ready for its next chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Digger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49364551827764,"sku":null,"price":661.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4123\/files\/1935WahlEversharpJetBlackDoricFountainPen1.jpg?v=1793654445","url":"https:\/\/antiquedigger.com\/en-ca\/products\/circa-1935-wahl-eversharp-doric-jet-black-plunger-filler-14k-f-bb-1-68mm-flex-fountain-pen-restored","provider":"Antique Digger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
