The 144 shown is an original with a real 14K-585 nib. However, the age statement of two years does not match; the form with plug-on cap and the feed shown correspond to writing instruments from the early 1990s; the 144 in this version has not been produced for some time. Despite authenticity, the price asked on eBay is regarded as significantly too high. Collectors should therefore critically check descriptions and consult comparison pictures of older generations.
