Eversharp enlisted famed Paris, France-born industrial designer Raymond Loewy to design a new pen line which the Eversharp Symphony was one of his designs. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Loewy design was new, radical, and very forward-looking in its time and the pen still looks extremely modern today after all these years. However, Eversharp quickly re-designed the cap (it could be that the offset design was too difficult and expensive to manufacture) so the later models were made with a bullet-shaped profile similar to the Sheaffer pens. Consequently, the original, Loewy-designed pens are quite uncommon and not very often seen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no dings, dents chips, cracks, teeth marks, or repairs. The original Eversharp Model 703 price stickers are still remaining and in excellent condition. The cap clips have a perfect stamping that reads, \"EVERSHARP Made in U.S.A.\". There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. I have not touched the fountain pen to buff or polish it - the lever fill filling system is in perfect working order and is factory. There is no brassing or wear to the cap or the gold-filled clip and cap banding. This Eversharp Symphony measures 5 1\/2\" in length capped and 6 1\/4\" posted. The Eversharp Symphony Pencil is in Mint Condition as well and measures 5 1\/4\" inches in length.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Fountain Pen NIB is a 14K Fine Manifold Nib and retains the \"FINE MANIFOLD\" Nib sticker on the barrel. The point measures roughly .56mm when measured with digital calipers.

The filling system has perfect suction and works flawlessly.
