This one is quite an oddity for me. A vintage Savoy fountain pen in green marbled celluloid, British made, dating back to the late 1930s perhaps.
It sports a large 14kt gold, medium tipped, semi-flex nib. Very smooth writer. The barrel is in three sections: the top half is a deep red/brown translucent ink window with a rubber sac or 'bulb' attached. The lower half can be screwed off and is in green marbled celluloid like the cap. There is a blind cap also which hides an aluminium button to fill ink, but I don't find it as effective as simply squeezing the sac directly.
