This pen was purchased at the London Pen show in London, England in October 1998. The pen was missing the pocket clip but I managed to find an exact replacement at the same show from a parts vendor and the expert replacement job was done by Bernard Hawkins. The nib was reground and had new iridium fitted by John Mottishaw and the pen was returned in time for Christmas! (Thanks John). The pen is 5" long closed with the cap on and 6 1/4" long with the cap posted in the writing position. It is a beautiful piece with original "Swan E8" feed and "Swan 8" section.
 

Here is another large Swan Eternal.  This is the full size E844 in mottled hard rubber.  This pen is actually a little more common than the E844B above but by no means easy to find.  This pen has the correct #8 Swan nib in medium width.  I purchased this pen at the Columbus Pen Show in 1999.
