This is a second-generation Doric equipped with the advanced plunger-fill system—freshly restored, expertly serviced, and now 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 to ensure proper vacuum action to fill the barrel with ink. The gold-filled clip, wide cap band, and 14K nib have been carefully hand-polished, and only the slightest wear can be seen. The cap, barrel, and blind cap were cleaned, buffed, and polished to revive the depth and chatoyance of the Green Shell 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 only the faintest whisper of wear at the very bottom—minor and mentioned strictly for accuracy. 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\u003eCollector highlight: the barrel transparency is outstanding—near water-clear. The internal mechanism is highly visible, a feature that elevates this example well above average surviving specimens. 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 .57 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Doric is fitted with a great writing 14K Manifold nib. The tipping measures approximately 0.40mm (Fine) when measured with digital calipers. Under controlled pressure, the nib will range from .40mm (extra-fine) and expands to approximately .65mm (Medium), delivering slight line variation. 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 subtle line variation of the nib. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Green Shell Doric remains one of the most iconic Art Deco fountain pen designs ever produced—faceted, architectural, and unmistakably American. Between its striking celluloid, near water-clear barrel transparency, freshly restored plunger system, and superb writing nib, this example stands as a collector-grade piece in Excellent 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":49365602828596,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4123\/files\/1935EversharpDoricManifoldNibFountainPen1.jpg?v=1793725596","url":"https:\/\/antiquedigger.com\/products\/circa-1935-wahl-eversharp-doric-green-shell-plunger-filler-fountain-pen-restored","provider":"Antique Digger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
