I don't seek 'em.
But, I couldn't turn down this one. Another find from the Washington DC Pen Show August 2012. The price band and great condition (for this sort) didn't hurt.
Anything... interesting?

David,
It's unique to say the least, very nice material, and the NOS doesn't hurt Here is one i sold a while back, nothing comes close to yours, as mine is missing the cap band. This pen is hard to photograph because of the double stamped logo.

As noted by Roger, is it an exact match or just close? I have seen other nth tier name in similar material.

Traveler as i know was a third tier pen company, and was American made as it was a sub-tier brand of Sheaffer.

While I agree (allowing some parsing of jargon) that Traveler was a third tier label (weak trim, plated nib), I do invite presentation of any evidence you have for a linkage to Sheaffer, as I've never seen any.
I've never heard of any connection of that sort, but would be happy to learn otherwise.

MIke, you really need to join us for a Janesville Pen Club meeting.
Lahn (or lame) is a flattened tinsel wire which was produced primarily in Germany or France and subject to various tariffs in the early 1900's. Definitions here:
