I just finished the restore on my newly found Marathon "The Student" in green icicle! This may be the coolest pen I own... (not the prettiest, most sophisticated, most elegant...etc etc...just the coolest!). I inked it up since I had to reset the nib and it's got a nice smooth medium nib. A little discoloration by the threads and the end of the barrel, but kinda gives it character. The opaque jewels are interesting too. Enjoy the pics!
