Filling System Lever filler on the pen, restored, works well.
Color Black hard rubber groups of length-wise lines, and a red-orange band on the cap. Gold plated trim.

Condition Excellent + condition, very little in the way of usage signs. No cracks or chips or bite marks, very smooth and very shiny. The imprints are readable. The black hard rubber is a little faded, and you can see the original darker color when you remove the cap. Still, the color is quite even, and in hand it looks really good.
