The Story
Summit pens have a complex history, which can be traced back to Kay & Co a liverpool based pen company producing pens in the late 1800s,, through to Curzon Ltd who produced SUMMIT pens from the late 1920's onwards, and subsequently changed their name to Summit Pens Ltd, Summit's being their best known models.
Summit Ltd ceased pen production in 1955. Summit are known for their well built lever filled pens which often carry reliable branded 14k gold nibs.
This particular model is the S.100 cadet, showing a little vintage charm with a slight brown patina, but performing very well, with a trustworthy 14k gold summit nib.
The Nitty Gritty
There are no major imperfections to note, no chips cracks or engravings.
The pen has a slight faded patina, the material has faded appearance, much like hardenned rubber and is slightly brown. Otherwise the pen shows minor surface wear and is in excellent working condition.
