This is a rare Wide Banded Keene Vintage Fountain Pen in Black Striped Hard Rubber with 14K Gold Filled Trim and a smooth writing 14K Solid Gold Medium Fine Flexible Nib. This Keene has a great feel, it has been taken care of and writes like new. 

Condition: I have examined this Fountain pen and it scores "B" on the Cuwigs. This fountain pen is in excellent condition. The nib shows mild signs of wear but shows some stress seen in photos 7, 8 and 21. The clip is in mint condition.  Magnified, I can see light surface scratches and a wear mark on the back of band. The barrel and cap are exceptional with crisp imprints and no fading. This Fountain pen is clean and empty of ink and has a newly installed ink bladder.
