Nib: 18k Gold Fine
1931 Silver, Limited Edition, M101n
Limited Edition 0104/1931
New old stock
Stepping back again, the next release in the series was based off of the model 110. The 1931 White Gold came in 2000, after a short hiatus, with only 1931 pens produced (see what they did there). Again sporting a black hard rubber piston knob and section, the cap and binde are made of an 18 karat gold fill and, like the 1931 Gold, are decorated with bands of plain stripes alternating with a wavy guilloche pattern. The gold barrel lacks any visible stamping and the piston knob again sports an arrow. The furniture simply includes a drop clip making this the only model of the series to forego the double cap bands. Also absent from the cap top is the company name. The edition number is engraved lengthwise in a small font whereas the prior models had their engraving around the cap. The company’s original 4 chick logo is etched into the cap top. A dark amber ink view window sits behind the section and we find the same 18 karat yellow gold script nib seen on the previous two models. This one again employs modern materials in the piston mechanism but is otherwise a faithful reproduction. The 1931 White Gold is 4.58 inches capped, 6.18 inches posted, has a diameter of 0.46 inches, and weighs 0.81 ounces, the heaviest of all of the pens discussed here. The ink capacity is once again approximately 1.25mL.
