Length Both pen and pencil are 5-3/16" long and quite fat.
Filling System The pen is a button filler, we've replaced the sac and it's working very well. The pencil takes 1.1mm (or "Thick") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. Both pen and pencil are working very well and we'll include a small pack of leads for the pencil.
Color Burgundy and black marbled finish with gold plated trim and black ends with double cap bands. The color is excellent.
Nib SEMI-FLEX MEDIUM gold nib marked Parker Duofold Pen Canada C. It's quite large, smooth with nice tipping material, and the line varies easily from medium to broad. There are some slight scratches on the top of the nib but these do not affect its writing at all.
Condition Superior condition. There's just some very light marks of wear on the bodies of the pen and pencil, and some marks of discoloration on the black hard rubber blind cap and some small scratches on the other black end pieces. There's just a tiny bit of brassing on the tip of the pencil's cone and a little plating wear on the upper part of the pencil's clip. Otherwise there's no brassing except for on the very edges of the clips and the rings that anchors the clips to their caps. No cracks or chips, no dings or dents, and no personalization. Both pieces are working very well and they make a beautiful set.
