Vintage Steady Perfect Japanese Eyedropper Fountain Pen. Steady is one of the brands registered to legendary Japanese nib master Ginjiro Kabutogi, or "G.K.." The underside of the nib is stamped with his initials indicating his mark of approval, as well as the numbers "55.4" which likely refers to the date this pen was produced.

 These pens were designed as eyedroppers, meaning ink was stored directly in the barrel without cartridges or converters. A key feature was the shutoff valve, a small mechanism that prevented ink from leaking during use or travel. This valve allowed users to seal the ink reservoir, ensuring a steady flow only when writing, which addressed issues like burping or dripping often seen in traditional eyedropper pens.

This pen has had the worn out, original cork shutoff valve seal replaced with o-rings. Providing a great alternative to prevent leaks near the back of the pen. 90 day warranty on service work.
