Product Description
Type Ballpoint pen
Product Name Ecridor Retro
Manufacturer and Year Caran D'Ache, Switzerland -- probably made in the last 10 years. This model and pattern is currently offered.
Length 5-1/16"
Filling System Takes a few different refills. The Ecridor is meant to be used with Caran d'Ache Goliath ballpoint refills and a working black one is installed. As it is configured though, Parker refills also work. If a slightly shorter spring is used, then Sheaffer refills will also fit. It takes a little adjustment but it can be used successfully with many possibilities. The Caran D'Ache Goliath refills are arguably worth seeking out - the ink is much smoother than most ballpoint inks, and the company claims that it will write for 8000m, or 600 A4-sized pages. The tip extends and retracts via a clicker method.
Color Palladium plated over brass body, faceted pen with a lozenge guilloche pattern on each face. The pattern is called "Retro" by Caran d'Ache.
Condition Excellent condition. There's no major wear but the pen does have general handwear and polishing marks and enough marks on the cone and clicker to show that the pen has been used.
