Ambassador Special 1142 with an anchorand the letters C and O straddling the anchor, indicating Christian Olsen. Penol Pens are known to be very well made and in fact when Olsen began makingtheir own pens they were made by hand, so each was actually unique.Can't sayhow these were made, but certainly a pleasure to own and use. Cap screws onsmoothly and tight. Not common o find these pens in the United States.
All have been refurbished when I boughtthem, and are filled, not dipped (except where mint or other stated problemsprevent it) written with and tested again when I put them up for sale. I amvery careful to show every aspect of the pens, so nothing is left to theimagination.
My descriptions and close up photos go the extra mile, so pleaseexamine them carefully. Never, ever put drafting ink such as India ink or Cartersdrawing ink in the pen. It will ruin the pen.
