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.
Nib Uncommon FINE short 9k Triumph nib, marked with "F9" on the back. Firm and smooth. 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. The gold detailing is really nice and clean, with no interruptions. There is some scratching on the section, but the cap and barrel look really great. The pen is working well.
