This is a highly sought-after 144, which was discontinued over a decade ago and is no longer available new. This particular pen is an early model, manufactured in the early 1980s, and features an ebonite feed, rather than the cost-reduced resin feed. Furthermore, it's the even rarer Bordeaux color. Although the section is black, this is normal for early Bordeaux models, as the section was black from new. The successor, the 145, has a screw-cap, while this one has a snap-cap, making it more convenient to use. The nib width is extra-fine, the most popular size, making it easy to write fine lines. It's in excellent condition, with no cracks, chips, or malfunctions, and no engraved name. There are many fakes of the 144 on the market, but rest assured, this one has been authenticated and its functionality has been confirmed. In the unlikely event that it is a fake, a full refund (including shipping) will be provided. Please note that this listing is for the pen body only. Optional accessories: + ¥100 for a genuine cartridge ink (Midnight Blue or Mystery Black) + ¥1200 for a converter + ¥2000 for the box If you would like any of the accessories, please contact me.
