Filling System This pen takes standard Sheaffer cartridges, and does not accept a converter. We will include a Sheaffer cartridge with the pen.
Color The body is black enamel over metal, with the detail in gold. We've heard this "Tulle" pattern described as crushed chicken wire. There are faint remains of a chalk mark on the section.
Nib FINE Triumph steel nib masked with gold. The masking on these nibs frequently flakes off.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, dents, or dings. This is a nicely shaped, stylish pen with classic patterning. There is some light scratching inside some of the black interiors and some bubbly gold edging but all the edging is intact and the pen is nice and shiny. The top of the cap has a chip in the paint. There are faint remains of a chalk mark on the section.
