This is a cutaway demonstrator, so there is a portion of the barrel and nose cone that are cut out, and you can see the inner workings. Unlike some cutaway demonstrator fountain pens, this is a working model - you can click the button at the end of the pencil, lead advances, and you can write with it (though the cut-out at the tip makes it less than comfortable to write with.)
