Hi All

 

Here we have a very handsome Swan 1060 leverless fountain pen from Mabie Todd.

Pretty! I have a very similar leverless. Only 2 cap bands though. It has one of the nicest and most impractical (for the pen) nibs I've ever used. Its a flexible stub and the thing holds almost no ink.

Thanks, yes there were different variants of this model. Flexible stub, sounds great to me. This one holds a fair amount of ink, has your pen got a smaller sac installed ?

I think it has an 18 in it. I might take it apart and see if I can jam a 20 in there.

Maybe that is why it does not take in the ink. The pen in the video was fitted with a No 21 necked sac. You will need the larger sac so the bar inside connects to and twists the sac inside.
