Nib Stylograph tip. The pen has a metal pipe tip with a spring-mounted stylus inside. Push the stylus in by touching the tip to paper, which opens the ink chamber and lets ink flow to the tip. Picking up the pen from the paper lets the stylus go back into position and seals off the ink chamber.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks or chips. This is a shorter-sized pen in classic mottled red hard rubber. Most of the body and cap are slightly lighter than the front part of the pen that is protected by the cap. The cap and barrel have light to moderate scratching. The clip is a dull silver color; there is some pitting and light plating wear. The barrel imprint is slightly worn but still readable.
