Filling System This pencil takes 1.1mm (or "Thick") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. It's working well, and we'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Golden Pearl body and cap, matching striped cap jewel with gold plated trim, an art deco arrow clip, and three thin cap bands.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dings, or personalization. Microscratching only, and the pen is quite shiny. The imprint is crisp and easily legible. The clip has some brassing on the sides and on the high spots. Some brassing on the tassie (the line you see on the tassie below is not a scratch, it is a reflection). The pencil is very pretty with contrasting shades of rings that have some transluscence when it is turned.
