Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.

Nib FINE two-tone 14k Lifetime nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition. No chips, cracks, dings, dents, or personalization. The barrel has horizontal marks just above the threads, probably from the screwing on the cap. There is a bit of brassing on the cap band, as well as at the expected points on the clip and lever. The clip is nice and tight, no looseness or wiggling. The imprint is very clear and readable except for the model number which is fainter. The pen has been fully restored and it's working well.
