The Sport Classic by Kaweco has been the quintessential pocket pen in Europe since it was first introduced in the 1930s.  It is really quite short with the cap in, but remove and post the cap, and you have a good sized pen that is comfortable to use for extended periods.  This is a rather special pen, an Art Sport in brown marbled acrylic.   The pen has  an octagonal cross-section cap with an integrated gold plated Kaweco pocket clip.  The shorty barrel will unscrew to allow the fitting of a standard International ink cartridge - there is the original ink cartridge already in the barrel to get you started - or a Kaweco Sport ink converter (not included).  The gold plated nib is in a medium point.  The tinplate box has a black outer sleeve. 

I can see absolutely no damage on this pen, and it looks to me like it has hardly been used.   In testing, it wrote with a nice smooth medium-width line.
