Crest is one of the many small; enterprises that rose before the world war which mainly sells fountain pen directly to wholesalers, retailers, and visitors. Unable to survive after the world war,  Most of the remaining Crest old stock remains in the depository.After more than 84 years, We were able to acquire some of the remaining New Old Stock that was available in the depository to introduce his legacy to the whole world. This pen carries the history, and legacy of Crest Fountain Pen Company for more than 100 years. This pen is truly a piece of fountain pen history that was once forgotten and now retold to you.*About the nib: 14K SEMI FLEX NIBS" Japanese Vintage Fountain pen uses a lot of Semi-Flex nib configurations. This is because, Semi-flex nibs allow writers to write broader strokes in and between each stoke by pressing on the nib, giving writer the flexibility to write calligraphy. Semi-flex nib must be included in the fountain opened back in the 1930s. It is because Japanese writers use a semi-flex ability to write kanjis and other characters that require broader strokes between the fine strokes. A small enterprise such as HHH employs their nib that was made by either nib maker. For this specific nib, it uses a 14K Gold Flex In Laid Nib That is design for sturdy writing and flex capabilities WRITING EXPERIENCE Surprisingly, this brand new old stock Crest  Fountain Pen writes incredibly well. Since it has never been inked before our testing, the performance remains pristine. The nib flexes smoothly, providing a fine stroke rather than an extra fine one. When writing sideways, it doesn't scratch the paper but glides smoothly, offering a pleasant writing experience with minimal feedback. The semi-flex nature of the nib makes it perfect for writers who frequently work with Kanji or Chinese characters, as it allows for both broad and small strokes to be effortlessly achieved. *How to Use*The Bulb filler fountain pens, requires user to squeeze a rubber sac attached to the grip of the pen. and by squeezing the sac inside the pen, ink is extracted by into the rubber sac just like how you would use a To use the penUnscrew the gripInject  ink into the barrelSqueeze the rupper sac attached by the metal case unscrew the pen back  *Condition* This pen is BRAND NEW OLD STOCK! Has been in the depository for more than 80 years but has been kept nicely until now! The pen has almost no scratches and only minor scratches on the clip and that is because it has been in the depository. The pen was not inked and we only dipped the nib in ink to test the nib's performance.  The nib has been tested to assess any scratchiness or ink leakage and we have found that the nib performs exceptionally well, with limited scratchiness (even though the pen's nib size is fine nib), and no leakage was found on the pen.
