Baoer No. 507 Eight Horses Fountain Pen, Antique Silver

Baoer No. 507 Eight Horses Fountain Pen, Antique Silver

This is the Eight Horses pen.  Eight is a very lucky number to the Chinese so this pen is designed to bring luck to the owner.  The cap has a gold plated stud set in the domed black top button.  Just below this is a gold plated band imprinted with the manufacturer's name, and a very nice fluted gold plated pocket clip.  Near the lip is a gold plated band.  The end of the barrel narrows to allow the cap to post very firmly.  In the centre of the barrel is a beautiful brushed and antiqued metal overlay with a relief decoration of the eight horses in the pen's title.  This is interspersed with Chinese characters, and a decorated border top and bottom.  The section is slightly textured and bounded by gold-plated bands either side.  The nib is partially gold plated and in a medium point.

Size: Length - 5 7/16 inches capped; 6 5/16 inches posted.
