The "4" signifies a sterling silver overlay, the "5" indicates a lever-filler mechanism, the "2" denotes the pen's size (which usually corresponds to a #2 nib), and the "1/2 V" designates the slender, ladies' ring-top model. These pens were considered a high-end offering, featuring fully engraved, high-quality sterling silver caps and barrels with designs that transitioned from Art Nouveau to Art Deco styles.
